Verdict
ROYAL SEA opened his account over C&D on Wednesday and has more scope than today's main rivals. He's taken to follow up despite a penalty and confirm superiority with runner-up Guava in the process. Anychanceofabirdie went close in a seller at Lingfield last time but Safwaan is preferred as he'll have come on for his recent comeback and won a handicap here back in March. Veteran Lytham could prove best of the remainder off his current mark.
