Verdict
Sobegrand made a promising debut at Kempton only to disappoint when odds-on at Pontefract and drops down in trip. RULING DYNASTY has been off the track since finishing runner-up at Leicester back in April but the winner was given a rating of 99 after that and the Godolphin charge gets the vote having been gelded subsequently. The remaining trio are hard to recommend with Vallamorey perhaps best of them.
