Verdict

Royal Pleasure made a winning start over track and trip but is penalised and that should hand the advantage to MR MARVLOS. The latter was beaten less than a length at Kempton last time despite failing to get a clear run and can go one better. K Rex and Elakazaam may finish closer but a bigger threat could come from the newcomer Alfayaath, a US-bred $450,000 purchase.
