Verdict
RUSSIAN ROYALE was beaten half-a-length in this a year ago then went one better over the minimum trip at Hexham. She's run in better company subsequently and can get back to winning ways. Pennies And Pounds gained her only victory back in 2015 and ran poorly when last seen at Wincanton in March and though Ridgeway Pearl runs in this lowly grade for the first time she hasn't been showing enough to recommend. Kildaven Spider failed to reach a place in a dozen starts in Ireland and looks too high in the weights.
