Honey Badger has never won and though beaten narrowly here last June is 6lb higher. Tommys Geal gained her only victory on Turf over this track and trip and has since won on Polytrack, though she's looked a couple of pounds high in her last two starts. Megalala is having his 130th start and going for his 20th victory He won this in 2014 and loves the track but an absence since October might just prevent another success. Cappielow Park scored over fences on heavy going in December but has never won on the Flat so a chance is taken with ROSIE ROYALE, who scored over a mile here in September then followed up in a better race over this trip at Sandown a week later.
