Verdict

ROYAL BAJAN overcame his inexperience to score on his racecourse debut over C&D last month. He ran out an easy winner in the end and there should be plenty more to come from James Given's colt. Juarla looks the chief danger judged on his consistently good form on the all-weather this year. He's won twice since January and went close off today's mark at Southwell last time with Inde Country well beaten in fourth. It's hard to make a case for any of the remainder, however, with Chester Deelyte possibly the best of the trio.
