Verdict
Morning Royalty has an important course and distance win to his name for the local yard and can be expected to have been prepared for this meeting. He is definitely one to note as he usually runs his race too but Peter Bowen enjoyed a couple of winners on Saturday, including one here, and SOURIYAN makes plenty of appeal for the Welsh yard. He showed a doughty attitude to prevail at Market Rasen over timber earlier this month and can hopefully translate that improvement back to the larger obstacles now. He's rated 5lb lower over fences, stays well and has conditions to suit. Forthefunofit has definite claims at his best and could well prove the main threat after an acceptable return to action last time after a year absent for a yard which has found better form this month.
