        In depth

        Verdict

        ROYAL CONNOISSEUR (NAP) has been competing in a higher grade since winning in soft ground over track and trip in July. Richard Fahey’s charge gets another chance back at this level. Portland Street’s earlier double came on fast going and he’s upped a further 3lb after placing at Carlisle while Reflation carries a penalty for his recent success at the track. The remainder will do well to figure in their current form including dual course and distance winner Born Innocent, who is 10lb higher than her latest win.
