Verdict
Cryptos Dream won at Brighton before reverting to her more usual moderate form while El Royale’s best efforts so far have been over a mile and he finished behind third-placed Egoiste over track and trip back in May. The latter has a shout on that form but a chance is taken that LIGHTNING SPARK improves further after a much better effort at Wolverhampton on a recent handicap debut.
