Auvergnat is on a reasonable mark but is likely to need this race after a six month absence, and although Royalraise got off the mark in handicaps when dropped to this sort out trip last time out, he’s far from certain to follow up off his new mark. RELENTLESS DREAMER has also gone up in the ratings for his recent back to back wins, but the manner of his success at Newton Abbot last time suggests there may be more to come and he is taken to win a competitive heat. The consistent Set List may be more competitive at this shorter trip and is taken to chase the winner home.
