Verdict

This drop in trip could prove to be a blessing for REGAL RENAISSANCE, especially in what promises to be a strongly-run race. Indeed, she moved up threateningly in the back straight over 2½m at Ludlow last time before giving way in the closing stages and, in addition to dropping in trip, she's also eased in class here. Politacus took a step forward in this sphere at Warwick and she is feared most ahead of Two To Tango.

3	Off the mark over fences at Warwick early last term and has posted some decent efforts in defeat since, including when returning from a break at Ludlow (2½m, soft) where she loomed up before fading from the second-last. This drop in trip is an interesting move and she has to enter calculations. 1st Pick 3 Regal Renaissance Jockey: Sam Twiston-Davies Trainer: Henry Daly J: Sam Twiston-Davies T: Henry Daly	98	-	-	-	36%

2	Successful twice over hurdles in spring 2024 and left previous chase efforts behind when second under an attacking ride in Warwick mares handicap (2m, good to soft) last time. Major claims off an unchanged mark. 2nd Pick 2 Politacus (Ire) Jockey: Jonathan Burke Trainer: Fergal O'brien J: Jonathan Burke T: Fergal O'brien	100	-	-	-	29%

5	Maiden who posted plenty of creditable efforts over hurdles and similar story sent chasing, again finding only one too good at Leicester (2m, good to soft) during the Christmas period. Perhaps the addition of cheekpieces will help eke out a bit more and, if so, he will have a fighting chance. 3rd Pick 5 Two To Tango Jockey: Charlie Todd Trainer: Emma Lavelle J: Charlie Todd T: Emma Lavelle	97	-	-	-	29%
