Analyis of the race

Unusually little at the weights between many of the runners in this claimer but BHA ratings and Racing Post ratings both gave ROYAL DIGNITARY the edge and he went through the race like the best horse in the line-up, soon in front, making all and holding on comfortably despite edging right in the straight. That made it four wins and two seconds in this type of company of late and he should continue to give a good account at this level.

Efidium was dropping in trip but showed the pace to cope with it, soon in touch and travelling well for a long way, but he could find only one pace in the final 1f - this was a decent effort at the weights but he is likely to do at least as well returned to further. Inside Story also ran creditably over a trip which might have been thought too sharp for him but is another likely to do as well when stepped back up in distance.
