        Verdict

        Several of these arrive at the top of their game. Bosham won nicely at Catterick and is raised 5lb but ROYAL BRAVE comes out better on collateral form having landed a hat-trick with a recent success at Ayr. Both earlier wins came over track and trip and Rebecca Bastiman’s charge should make another bold bid off a 2lb higher mark. Longroom is upped in class and has a 13lb hike in the weights to contend with as he bids for a treble but Economic Crisis and Lexington Place are back on winning marks and have both been successful over course and distance in the past.
