Modest fare indeed with the 12 runners unable to muster a single success between them. Sakash improved on maiden efforts here last time on his handicap bow when just failing to reel in Napinda and is of interest tackling 9f for the first time. He has yet to race anywhere other than Yarmouth. Ella Motiva has place claims from the foot of the weights whilst Una Bella Cosa sees grass for the first time in 10 starts and has shown enough on artificial surfaces to warrant shortlist inclusion. However, this may be the day for a Royal winner at the seaside courtesy of DALLIEFOUR, who has shown gradual if unspectacular improvement to date, finishing behind such useful types as London Bridge and Portrait the last twice. A confirmed stayer, the drop in trip is interesting so expect a positive Luke Morris ride.
