      Verdict

      Royal Regent is penalised for beating Gworn over 1m1f here recently and the latter may well take his revenge. Euro Nightmare ran well again last time having scored at Musselburgh earlier and Glorious Forever is not out of this stepping back up in trip after a third at Sandown. But KASPERENKO (NAP) beat an odds-on shot with a subsequent winner further behind to win a maiden at Chelmsford last time and David Lanigan’s charge can show further progress now handicapping.
