Verdict

Laser Ruby reportedly resented a tongue-tie when failing to land the odds at Wolverhampton last time and is beginning to look a little frustrating, while Loyal Royal keeps running his race but cannot find away to get his head in front. Both finished behind ESPY over C&D back in November and the latter remains on a lower mark than when winning at Wolverhampton earlier in the year. He gets the vote. Bollywood Style went close here last month and Musical Script turned in a better effort at Kempton last time.
