ROYAL DIGNITARY is the form pick to land this claiming stakes with both Bajan Pride and If You Knew Suzy worth noting. The selection landed his hat-trick last season and made it a four timer on his seasonal reappearance at Southwell in March. He did disappoint at Kempton last time out but if he can recapture his best he will take all the beating. Bajan Pride caught the eye while sporting first time visors last time out. He finished a close second to Rowan Lodge that day and can once again be in the shake up. If You Knew Suzy has run some fine races in defeat this season and is still relatively unexposed so any market moves should be noted.
