Verdict
ROYAL TRIBUTE (NAP) couldn't quite get to Miss Abby Jools over the trip last month but had Feature This behind and should confirm the form and go one better. Boadicea Belle, three-times a winner at Chelmsford, showed her first sign of form for new connections when sent over 1m2f last month though she led at this trip. Sunset Nova has won five times here and though out of form has dropped to a very winnable mark.
