Verdict

Having opened his account at Kempton on his penultimate start, ROYAL BODYGUARD acquitted himself with plenty of credit when third in a stronger race at Doncaster last week and he undoubtedly has more wins in him from this sort of mark. Windsor scorer Explosion is going the right way and can provide chief resistance.
