In depth
Verdict
Bint Royal is selected to score a deserved success under Darryll Holland, with Water Of Life the main danger and Summery an outsider to consider. Vicki Haigh's filly went down by just half a length to Noble Locks here last week, so a good run from that horse in the previous race would obviously underline her claims. She races off the same mark today, and with Darryll Holland taking over from a five pound claimer, she could just about be good enough. Water Of Life has struggled on turf this season, but was a winner here in February and would certainly come into the reckoning if able to reproduce that form, while Summery led until two out when third in a mile Classified Stakes at Lingfield last week and Brian Meehan's filly looks as though she will be ideally suited by this distance.
