In depth
Verdict
Evelith Regent gets the nod after showing that the promise he showed in bumpers was translated to the flat. The worry would be that a contest of this nature could turn into a tactical affair which would not work to his strengths. He should posses too much class for his rivals here. Lochial had three outings last term attaining a mark of 66 in the process. Those around him on his final flat outing turned out to be decent national hunt sorts. Locial did not turn out a natural over hurdles and should be capable of landing a flat handicap.
