Verdict

A host in with chances but REGAL ULIXES is 2-3 at this trip and with his latest effort easy to put a line through (caught further back than ideal), Andrew Balding's 4-y-o gets the nod to add a fourth success to his tally. Heading up the dangers is Gaucher, who has taken really well to the all-weather this winter with a couple of wide-margin Dundalk victories. Bragbor and Paradias are another couple worth considering, too.
