Verdict

Royal Hall has yet to score on the Flat but wasn’t beaten far over a shorter trip here last time and is a winner over hurdles. But FITZWILLY is proven over course and distance having won off a higher mark last summer and it could be his turn again today with Oisin Murphy taking over the reins. Essgee Nics posted a better effort over 1m6f here on his latest outing but Sauchiehall Street has done all his winning so far on artificial surfaces and Roy Rocket is best over shorter trips at Brighton.
