Verdict
The Tatkin was all out to score at Hereford three weeks ago on her handicap debut. But a 13lb rise and top weight here looks a big ask, while Al Shababiya just got the better of Inkberrow Rose over C&D last time and that pair are closely matched again today. Royal Chatelier will relish the heavy ground but has gone up another 5lb for finishing second at Uttoxeter last month and preference goes to NOT SO PRUDENT. He's had a torrid time since going close at Uttoxeter back in 2010, but showed signs of a revival when third at Exeter on his latest start and remains open to improvement after only seven starts.
