        Verdict

        Perth winner HURRABORU appears to be on an upward curve and is fancied to defy his penalty as Cock Of The Rock has already passed up several decent chances to get off the mark and it seems a long time since he finished fourth the smart Fingal Bay in a Grade 2 at Chepstow. Royal Scoundrel has a bit of scope but needs to improve significantly on his third at Ffos Las to score here, though is still preferred to hunter chaser Whizzaar and former pointer Knockans Breeze, who was beaten in a seller at Hexham last month.
