Verdict

Royal Indulgence, River Logic and Scotty's Future are three against the field in a tough race to call for punters and the vote is given to the first mentioned. The selection won well last time when beating Border Edge and as he escapes a penalty for that win he will be hard to beat despite his poor draw. River Logic is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he now looks in the handicapers grip. Scotty's Future has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but he is at his best with more cut in the ground. Of the remainder, Topflight Wildbird is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but in a race where few can be ruled out for the winner we return to Royal Indulgence to small stakes.
