Verdict
Royal Marksell bids for a hat-trick of course wins. He drops further back in trip for this after scoring over 1m4f a fortnight ago but that doesn't look a major concern. The Lock Master has his own ideas about the game but easily beat the equally unreliable Dewala here back in March. Kingscombe has done all his winning so far at this venue but over longer trips of late while Ty Gwr looks in the handicapper's grip and Luv U Whatever is upped in class. STONECUTTER (NAP) won his maiden here last month beating a subsequent winner. Marco Botti's Coolmore-owned colt is worth sticking with now handicapping and he gets the vote.
