TIMEFORM VIEW Finally opened her account when making all in 6f Wolverhampton novice in March. Respectable fifth of 12 in 6f Lingfield handicap since. This front-runner is well drawn to attack from stall 1.

PLAY SMARTER

ROYAL DRESS should have more to offer on the back of her comfortable Doncaster reappearance success and, from a handy inside stall, can strike on handicap debut under Ryan Moore. Kessaar Power is likely to go well as he bids to make it 3-3 for new trainer Kevin Philippart de Foy. Well-drawn pair California Gem and Radio Goo Goo are others to consider.
