Nonrunner
Speedfit Boy, only beaten half-a-length over 7f here last month, is an obvious starting point but Thirsk runner-up Pastureyes is less exposed and, with Robert Tart taking off 5lb, Scott Dixon's charge also has claims even though he was well beaten on his only previous try over the trip. ROYAL TRIX was quite highly tried as a two-year-old and it's safe to assume he'll have needed his comeback run at Salisbury after a year off. The four-year-old could easily prove too good for these if now fully wound-up as Compton Prince is had to catch right.
