        Verdict

        The four-year-old Irish Flame won easily at Newcastle last month while Imperial Ace is a more recent winner at the same track having earlier finished behind runner-up Roaring Legend at Wolverhampton. Regal Empire scored over track and trip but BRAVURA (NAP) can take advantage of the weight concession having posted a much better effort when beaten less than a length at Lingfield last time by a subsequent handicap winner.
