In depth
Verdict
Henry Island has been called a few choice names in the past but did little wrong when carrying top weight to victory over 1m6f at Nottingham last week and should give another good account if in the same mood under a 6lb penalty. Open Ground shaped encouragingly after an absence over an inadequate test and is sure to be sharper for the outing over this more suitable trip while Richard Lee's veteran Or Royal has his quirks but is holding his form well on the all-weather and can't be discounted off his current mark back on turf.
