Verdict
Royal Holiday was beaten by the narrowest of margins here when bidding for a hat-trick and has to come into the reckoning again. However, SPARK OF GENIUS is a winner without a penalty after landing an apprentices' race on his handicap debut and can take advantage making a quick reappearance. Ioannou won his maiden over track and trip and can figure with further progress likely while both Bassett Road and File And Paint arrive on the back of placed efforts and cannot be discounted.
