      Verdict

      ROYAL MARKSELL landed a double at the track in December and wasn't far away when third here on his latest visit. He looks more likely to score off his current mark than Gabrial The Duke, who is now 8lb higher than his course and distance win earlier in the month. The latter has the beating of both Royal Peculiar and Toto Skyllachy on collateral form, however, while Wolverhampton maiden winner Lycidas hasn't raced since 2012. Caged Lightning is also hard to fancy.
