In depth

Verdict

Royal Act hasn’t had much luck since scoring twice at Taunton in March. L'Es Fremantle won over a slightly longer trip is in the grade here last month and arguably did even better when fourth last time. Hope For Glory led for a long way at Sedgefield on his reappearance and had still be asked a serious question when falling. If that hasn’t dented confidence, he should be thereabouts though seems better over shorter. Foundation Man can’t get much lower in the weights but QUANTUM OF SOLACE (NAP) will have had plenty of schooling ahead of a return to chasing and is well treated compared to his hurdles mark.
