In depth
Verdict
This is large in numbers and small in talent, but Mick Channon might provide the answer with his pair Seven Shirt and Imperial Royale. Seven Shirt, owned by Kevin Keegan¿s missus, has failed to score so far and is not one of the leading lights at West Ilsley, but would not have to be to take this. His defeats so far have been for a number of reasons, such as running green and not acting on the track, but his latest effort in a Windsor nursery was not that bad in the context of this race and he remains the one to be interested in. Stablemate Imperial Royale has already been campaigned at this level without success and does not make as much appeal. However, his third at Epsom in September gives him a squeak, albeit a small one. The market may prove the best guide as to the chances of the rest, but in a race in which bets are best kept to a minimum, Seven Shirt is the pick.
