Verdict
Its The Only Way has been competing in better company since landing his first two starts and will appreciate this drop in grade. He has obvious claims with Rossa Ryan claiming a useful 3lb whilst Megan Nicholls takes a handy 5lb off Whataguy, a first-ever juvenile winner for Paul Nicholls. Both are well respected but OBERYN MARTELL (NAP) followed up a highly promising debut with a silky smooth success at Sandown and is taken to progress further now. On The Balcony and Queen Shaahd have both shown promise and will improve again but the selection looks to set a strong standard for the Royal Ascot-winning team of Johnson Houghton and Bishop.
