        Verdict

        Royal Duchess is penalised for last week’s course and distance victory and runner-up Moonlightnavigator is weighted to reverse running. Tiger Jim finished behind the latter pair while Dandyleekie was winning over 6f earlier this month and has yet to win over further. The progressive CYMRAEG BOUNTY is another recent winner to consider given all three of this year’s wins have come at this venue including over course and distance a fortnight ago. Iain Jardine’s charge may not have finished improving yet and gets the vote.
