Verdict
Cousin Oscar steps back up in trip after a pipe-opener at Sedgefield but RED ROYALIST (NAP) looks the one to be on in this after a very good run on the all-weather last month. Potters Hedger was disappointing at Newbury last time but is a past winner here and Equus Millar has proved very consistent lately and should run his race again.
