Sigurd, Speak Of The Devil and Lex Talionis were all due to run in the same race yesterday at Carlisle. Thomas Shelby, a winner in the autumn, may have benefited from a break and Hugo 'n Taz should be approaching peak fitness and is slipping down the ratings. DESTINEE ROYALE is having a first try over 3m but she has been very lightly raced and was well backed on her reappearance before being outclassed at Warwick. She’s preferred to Roman Rock, who has a first run over fences since leaving Ireland. Commit Or Quit has a first and a second to his name here so is very much one for the shortlist.
