Verdict

Little went to plan for BATED BENEVOLENCE when she finished in the bottom half of the field in the Albany at Royal Ascot. However, she is back in much calmer waters and her experience could be a telling factor. Previously a ready winner on her debut at Nottingham, she has a big chance of adding to her tally on these terms. Sequel Star and Roosike are the pick of the rest to have raced previously, while Expensive Luxury commands respect debuting for a yard with an impeccable record with juveniles.

Top Tip: Bated Benevolence (1)
Watch out for: Sequel Star (4)

A decent novice can go to ROOSIKE who was only beaten by a useful looking pair on debut over 7f. She has speed in her pedigree so the drop in trip shouldn't be an issue and she's open to plenty of improvement. Debut winner Bated Benevolence was outclassed at Royal Ascot last time when too keen. She can bounce back down in class and fill the places with newcomer Expensive Luxury whose dam was a Listed winner in Germany.
