      Verdict

      ROYAUME UNI (NAP) won at Plumpton earlier and ran well again when placed in a tougher contest at Cheltenham recently. He gets another chance ahead of Pyramid Place, who also faces an easier task having finished third in a higher grade at Doncaster on his latest start. Hystery Bere won a juvenile hurdle over track and trip early in the year and has undergone wind surgery since last in action while dual novice winner Smurphy Enki may prove best of the rest.
