Another tough race for punters to work out with some unexposed sorts in the field that are open to plenty of improvement, but the principals look to be Happy Holiday, Royal Warrant and Carry On Doc and we will take a chance on Royal Warrant. The colt from the Andrew Balding yard won well last time out when defeating Desert Daisy that form has since been franked and with conditions again in his favour he will be hard to beat. Happy Holiday rates the main danger he is from a yard that does particularly well in nurserys and a reproduction of his latest second behind Alchera gives him definite place claims. Carry On Doc is also worthy of respect he was a fair fifth behind Almarud last time and he looks to be on a fair mark. Of the remainder Susiedil landed a gamble in good style at Brighton last time and is worth noting in the market while Innstyle would be a danger to all on some of his best placed form but we are happy to stick with the top weight Royal Warrant.
