Race time recorded.

In-running (Magnetude (GB))

“Raced just behind the first two early - dropped to 5th mid-race - nudged out and moved left after 3 out - challenging for the advantage when clumsy at the last - driven on the run-in and finished strongly to get up late and win”

Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Royal Sapphire

Royal Sapphire heads our ratings at 90, five pounds better than Watcha Snoop on 85, and that is enough to make him the one to beat in this nine-runner Class 4 over two miles on good to firm. Watcha Snoop is the chief danger, with Jambearee on 79 and Lynxman on 63 further back on our figures, while the five unrated runners add some uncertainty to the picture. The margin is a narrow one rather than a decisive one, so this is a low-confidence call, but Royal Sapphire's superior rating makes him the most logical choice. Royal Sapphire is our selection.
