In depth

Verdict

Encrypted and ROYAL HOUSEHOLD are penalised for winning at Kempton and Goodwood respectively. The former won easily enough but the latter beat a previous winner over three lengths and the Hannon colt gets the nod on that form. Magic Mark finished closer on his earlier debut than he did here last time while Richard Fahey is mob handed with four runners and Collateral Beauty preferred on her fourth at Pontefract. Lyrical Pursuit is another likely to improve for Mick Easterby’s yard.
