Verdict
ROYAL BLAZE forged clear of the opposition to land a classified stakes race at Ayr on Saturday. He will likely prove competitive back in handicap company and another good effort looks assured, despite a 5lb penalty. Temper Trap has returned to a winning mark and could land a blow, while Daring Leader performed well here last time and drops in distance with a shout.
Expert View Verdict
A weak finale which can go to last time out winner ROYAL BLAZE. He snapped a long losing run when returned to 10f last time and looks well treated back in a handicap having proven himself versatile ground wise. Veteran Temper Trap has been out of form this term but he has dropped a long way in the weights and has an excellent record at this track so is feared most. Inconsistent maiden Daring Leader can complete the tricast if matching his latest run here but that is guaranteed.
