Verdict
A maiden winner at Sandown, Rajasthan steps up in trip for his handicap debut along with stable companion INTINSO. Both of the latter’s winning siblings won over 1m4f and the Gosdens’ grey is taken to follow suit. Golden Move made a winning handicap debut on soft ground at Doncaster but Rogue Sea was well beaten over a longer trip on his first start handicapping. Regal Empire finished just ahead of Like A Tiger when third in a tougher contest at Yarmouth while Sovereign Spirit could also go well and is preferred to the Irish filly Satin. Struth’s yard has won two of the last three renewals and he is preferred to stablemate French Invasion.
