      Verdict

      Regal Parade won on debut despite running very green and whilst this will be tougher, he gets the nod again at the main expense of Go On Green and Eau Good. The selection cost a whopping 430,000 guineas as a yearling and will need to win some more races before he can justify that small fortune. However he showed a good attitude on debut and should have learnt from that experience sufficiently to go in again today. Go On Green finally got off the mark in grand style at Wolverhampton recently, however that was over six furlongs so he is not totally assured to appreciate this step up in trip although he was running on strongly when winning. Hollywood George was turned over at odds-on in a claimer just 12 days ago and must improve to trouble the judge today. New Beginning drops in trip but that may not be enough as he looks pretty one-paced, whilst Eau Good is of more interest. He bumped into a good thing (Rosa De Mi Corazon) last time out and could be the one to lay it down to the selection today. However, the class of Regal Parade may be too strong today and he gets the confident vote.
