Verdict

Royal Jet is the selection here ahead of Midas Way. Royal Jet looked an improved performer when scoring over course and distance on his first run for Mick Channon last time. A four-pounds rise should not stop him from going well today. Midas Way would hold a chance based on his 2005 Listed-form best and he comes here fit from hurdling. Kings Quay is unproven at today's trip and Kames Park landed a falsely-run 13-furlong affair last time so the jury is out regarding his revised mark. Finally, Invention has something to prove based on his overall form so, for the selection, once again we return to Royal Jet.
