In depth

Verdict

Hernando Royal is impossible to oppose here with Born Wild and Hill Billy Rock rating the main dangers. The selection was a good third on his last run behind Chronomatic, that form looks rock solid and he need only stay upright to win this with a bit in hand.Born Wild hails from a top yard and was a fair sixth behind Sandglass last time out so he should be watched in the market but his overall profile leaves him with plenty to find. Hill Billy Rock has showed a modicum of ability in two runs to date but the suspicion is he may be seen to better effect once handicapped. Of the remainder Burnt Oak is a bumper winner and could run into a place at a price but for the winner we are happy to return to Hernando Royal.
