Verdict
Azione and Sun Tzu were both disappointing last time while The Lemonpie was beaten a long way when third to Lively Fling at Warwick two weeks ago. Duke Of Ormond ran his best race so far under Rules here in November but has been pulled up in both starts since. There may be more to come from Exeter fourth Royal Chatelier but FENTARA should be hard to beat here. Tim Walford's mare was sent off at long odds when getting off the mark at Newcastle earlier this month but the second, Aneyeforeye, franked the form at Musselburgh earlier this week and a follow-up is on the cards.
