Verdict

This is little better than a seller and Royal Prodigy looks to have been found the ideal race to follow up in. The winner of a seller at Southwell, he is just as at home on this surface and is taken to beat some disappointing types. Ampoule failed miserably at Southwell last time and looks to have his own ideas about the game, as does Dramatic Quest, who looked less than enthusiastic here earlier this month. If Man The Gate strips fit, he should go well as he has given the impression that this trip may bring about some improvement, while neither Porak or Most Saucy cannot be left out of calculations at this level.
