        Verdict

        Royal Invitation represents last year’s winning yard having landed the odds at Newcastle back in October, But he’ll need to step up on that carrying a penalty and the three-year-old STAR FORTRESS can make the most of the weight concession. The latter finished a promising second at Windsor on last month’s debut and can go one better in this. Capstan failed to show any improvement at Sandown last time and the remainder have shown little so far.
