Attractive Royal Birth Mark
Ran the fastest closing sectional last time and earned an adjusted speed rating of 87, which suggests he can win off his current mark.
Royal Birth can be a frustrating individual to follow due to his customary slow starts but there is no doubting his ability.
In four starts this winter he has finished 2713 but regardless of the final position he’s always run a good speed rating.
Last time out, he got too far back after a slow start and a perfectly judged ride on Brother Tiger meant the leader wasn’t for catching. Nevertheless, Royal Birth clocked the fastest closing sectional (didn’t get the clearest of runs) and earned an adjusted speed rating of 87.
The 4.20 Wolverhampton is a competitive race but well drawn in stall two there is also headroom in his handicap mark of 89, especially if breaking on terms. At 9/2 (Bet365) he is a good bet.
