Verdict

Already twice a winner this year, NAVAL TRIBUTE ran another solid race tackling his strongest handicap yet when second at Ascot 24 days ago and he rates a big player again for the in-form James Owen yard. Calvert finished a place behind the selection that day and is also considered, with Personal Best another to consider in a competitive heat.
