        Verdict

        Welsh Inlet is the one in good form on Turf, seeking a hat-trick for John Bridger, but he's 11lb higher now which is sure to make life tougher, although the mare remains a leading player. It's Taboo and Tregereth both face absences of over 250 days which may be an issue on this softened ground, whilst Pretty Bubbles and Two In The Pink have identical records in that they have faced the starter on all-weather surfaces on 12 of 13 starts and remain unproven on Turf. Be Royale is another whose best has come away from grass whilst Burnt Fingers could be the possible improver here. ROYAL CONNECTION is the one though as she had some useful juvenile form and will almost certainly have needed her Leicester comeback run after nearly seven months off. She's not badly handicapped against her elders and gets the vote. Tenbridge never went a yard three days ago at Chepstow but is useful on her day and it's interesting to see connections return her to the fray so quickly.
