Finished fourth, beaten a fair way over 6f here (maiden) when separating a number of reopposing rivals 18 days ago; not had much racing - fifth outing here; easy enough to take on.

Beaten narrowly when dropped to this trip (Kenilworth) last month; signs of improvement on last two runs; every chance as recent performance was encouraging.

Has shown some ability, knocking on the door on occasions and seems to be improving based on last two runs; things didn't pan out for him when favourite (just over 5l third) over 5f at Kenilworth (maiden plate, close behind The Big Bang) five weeks ago; should be thereabouts.

Verdict

ROYAL INFLUENCER is strongly fancied to come out on top. He will go well if repeating the sort of form he showed in his latest exploits. Madra Rua has produced plenty of good efforts while The Muffin Man could have a say, and there is a question mark over whether Havoc will be effective over this trip.
