Verdict
Mister Serious was a close third over course and distance nine days ago and could go close if cheekpieces have the desired effect. MOGESTIC is a thorough stayer and has only been raised 4lb for beating Keep To The Beat six lengths at Plumpton. If a second run in a relatively short space of time doesn’t prove too daunting, he can score again off a 4lb higher mark. Roparta Avenue found only one too good when well backed over fences at Plumpton and is a previous course and distance winner but Bagging Turf was well beaten back over hurdles at Warwick when coming to grief. Royal Etiquette and Young Phoenix look best of the rest.
