REGAL MONARCH appreciated the step up to 1m5f at Newmarket last week and romped home by nine lengths. He can shrug off 6lb extra in this and go in again given he is likely to be raised by a lot more once the handicapper has his say. Kaatskill Nap was narrowly beaten over 1m4f here last month and makes his handicap debut while Injam is upped a grade after finishing runner-up at Ripon. Project Bluebook also steps up in trip but was due to run at Bath yesterday.
