Verdict
Callum Bewley gave MILAN ROYALE a confident ride to score at Hexham last Friday. He has escaped a penalty for that success and a follow-up could be on the cards as Runswick Days keeps finding one too good and is getting no respite from the handicapper. Prince Blackthorn won twice over course and distance last winter but is 6lb higher than for the last of those victories and hasn't raced since pulled up at the track in March. Force Of Habit was beaten when falling behind the selection at Catterick in December and his form has been patchy since.
