1 Royal Brave @ 5/1 ****

½ e/w

LCS 1-4

 

Important to note that Lads/Coral and Sky enhance to 4th place here and a few others may join them so shop around.
I think that middle to high is the place to be drawn, unless you can really "ping the stalls" from a low draw and with decent Going this is one
of the sharper 5 furlongs in the UK. The draw negates the chances of Lydiate Lady and Rapid Applause for me, both near the top of the
market, if they prevail from the draws they have got, I will take it on the chin. ROYAL BRAVE is a Course and Distance winner; won this
same race last year; if fit and ready to roll and won last year off marks of 72-77-80 and 81 so a mark here of 82 and top weight now race
fit, should be within scope. A draw in stall 13 won't harm its chances at all for an in form yard who have done us a few favours this week
and Danny Tudhope in the plate. I like the e/w chances of PEA SHOOTER (see Mentions) and would suggest a small Tricast Perm with
the tip and the Mention together with 10 Tanasoq and 9 Suwaan, both well drawn and very capable off nice handicap marks and BIG dangers.
***RAPID APPLAUSE just declared NON RUNNER so market may drop price on tip - if 5/1 or lower your discretion win or each way.
