Court Royale wasn’t at his best at Stratford last time but has a chance in an open-looking contest here. Shiroccan Roll should strip fitter for his run at Exeter but RICHIE VALENTINE arrives of the back of a win at Plumpton and Chris Ward takes off 5lb again. He’s preferred to the returning Dogon, making his debut for a new yard, and Elios D'Or, who was pulled up on his reappearance at Warwick.
