Verdict
Ryan Moore returns to action and has a leading chance partnering ROYAUME UNI (NAP) on his only ride on the card. The latter won on the Flat when trained in France and easily landed an all-weather bumper for Gary Moore at this venue last month. Social City included a course and distance success in an earlier four-timer but struggled off today’s mark at Southwell last time but Torochica won over 1m4f here recently, though attempts this longer trip for the first time. Bird For Life and Dynali are both upped in class while Dante's View has been hurdling but has yet to win under any code.
