        Verdict

        ROYAL MEZYAN landed a double on the all-weather at the end of last year and was only caught in the closing stages at Sandown last time. Henry Spiller’s charge may prove good enough in this. Silverrica just missed out over track and trip in May but has failed to figure subsequently while Case Key never looked like catching the winner here a week ago. Dyllan can only improve from last month’s comeback run and Roger Charlton’s yard has hit top form since Sfumato’s modest efforts back in May.
