Verdict

BLUES AND ROYALS was quite a stylish winner on his Kempton handicap debut and a 3 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him now moving back to the turf. Charlie Johnston pair Suddenly I See and Just A Gambler, who was third to the selection at Kempton, head the dangers along with recent Southwell runner-up Keep An Eye On It.
