BELLE ROYALE is looking highly progressive and with winning form in these ranks looks the one to side with despite a high draw if coming out of his run at York ok. Hoot has also proved progressive and with a top pedigree should be open to more after a Kempton maiden win. Il Battista won a Nursery on the Fibresand last time out and looks fairly treated under a penalty while Mother jones will benefit for this step up in trip after a run at Kempton in mid-week. A intriguing race and Belle Royale can't be ignored on this form.
