In depth
Verdict
None of these have looked like winning so far but EL ROYALE improved when stepped up to 7f here a week ago. Mick Appleby’s charge may prove the one to side with. Endofastorm also finished closer at Catterick recently and is preferred to Justathimble while Unbridled Power has switched yard’s and debuts in this code having failed to figure in bumpers in Ireland. Southwold makes his debut and won’t have to be anything out of the ordinary to get involved.
