Verdict

Not a bad prize but this shouldn't really take anything special to win it and Sir Mark Prescott can provide the answer with Regal Setting, with Blaze Of Colour, Ocean Avenue and Desert Island Disc others to note. Regal Setting gets in with a featherweight here and can take full advantage. Without a run for almost a year, his two previous outings were on the fibresand at Southwell, when he was second to Rock Lobster, and then at Wolverhampton, when seeing off Cellarmaster. Admittedly the ground will be a fair bit different here, but the team do well when stepping their runners up in trip by a significant amount, and this one looks no exception. Blaze Of Colour runs from the same mark, but has a bit to do. A winner of a Class E handicap at Brighton in July, he was anchored by a 6lb penalty there again next time, and although trip and ground suit he looks vulnerable again under this weight. The same can be said of course and distance winner Ocean Avenue, who has been well beaten in two starts since May and is still 6lb higher than than win, while Desert Island Disc is just 2lb higher than when he won over c and d in July, has held his form well enough in defeat since, and he can give the selection most to do. Our idea of the winner though is Regal Setting.
