Verdict
Avertuoso's chances would increase if the rains arrive and Desert Strike would have a better chance if this was on Polytrack, as he hasn't won on turf in 25 starts. Ridley Didley was well beaten on Tuesday but has claims if on a going day, while Dispol Grand remains on a winning mark despite a 2lb rise for last month's victory at Leicester. However, ROYAL BLADE has been the most consistent of these recently and a big chunk of his penalty for winning at Ayr on Monday is negated by Danielle Mooney's claim. He gets the nod to follow-up here.
