      Verdict

      It' a surprise to see ROYAL PLAZA running in a seller as he's been in good form over fences, winning at Fontwell before a good run in a Class 3 handicap on this track. He shouldn't have too many problems as the lightly-raced Let's Sway has run poorly in her last two starts after looking quite promising when scoring at Wincanton. Dove Mountain was well beaten when runner-up in this last year and was beaten in a Lingfield seller on the Flat last month while Sky of Stars has shown little since two handicap victories last summer.
