Plenty with claims in this so ROYAL ALBERT HALL gets only a tentative vote on his recent placed efforts. He was well clear of the rest when runner-up at Lingfield last time and Salma Gondis went close when second over 7f here on her latest outing. Dutch Uncle was not beaten far in a blanket finish at Kempton last month while Sperrin may well reverse running with Captain Koko after finishing fourth on his debut. Jack Hobbs and Beau Knight are newcomers to note.
