      Verdict

      Autocracy is of interest with first-time blinkers sported, however ROYAL BLADE won well here last July and can repeat the dose ahead of Boogie Waltzer. Alan Jarvis has booked Jimmy Fortune for the ride which looks a positive move and the drop back in trip is another tick in the box. His mark of 68 certainly looks fair and with a recent run under his belt for fitness he is expected to run well. Flaxen Lake broke his maiden tag in a Wolverhampton seller last time (cheek-pieces sported for the first time), Master Mylo holds the selection on a strict reading of their run behind Sir Frank Wappat and has run well in defeat since, whilst Ryan Moore takes over in the saddle on the unexposed Autocracy but he likes to do things his own way judging by his latest run. Tom Folan ran well behind Anjomarba at Folkestone, whilst Blue Neptune should be watched closely for signs of support in the betting after an average run at Musselburgh on Friday. Pherousa is another to consider given that she races off her lowest mark to date. An open race to draw the card to a close, but preference is for Royal Blade.
