    Race Analysis

    Paul Nicholls has a strong hand and interestingly Harry Cobden is back on board AFADIL (5) as he's usually ridden by conditional jockeys. Always gives a bold show and another big performance is expected down in grade. BRAVE KNIGHT (1) could be busy this summer and may kick on from his triumph at Taunton during January. Major player. ROYAL WAY (7) gained a deserved 2. 75L success at Ludlow ten days ago. Warrants respect once again despite this being a harder race. DRAMATIC ENCORE (8) managed to keep on nicely winning at Plumpton a fortnight back. Worth giving another chance racing for an in-form stable.
