None of these can be ruled out but ROYALE DANCE rates the pick of the weights despite being shouldered with a 6lb rise for her Leicester success so edges the vote.

Lavida Adiva is feared most on her first venture into handicap company, although a PLAY SMARTER solid case can also be made for course-winner Gilbertina and Dan Skelton’s new-recruit Cottie.

It’s probably best to forgive his poor display at Fontwell given that conditions were atrocious that day and he showed enough on his return from a break at Carlisle to suggest PLAY SMARTER that the fire within still burns bright. Cokytho and Living’s Boy An Co rate the main dangers in that order of preference, while recent Catterick scorer Onenightintown also merits respect.
