BE ROYALE is holding her form well, an unusual feat at this level. She scored at Wolverhampton last week and can follow up despite a penalty. Olivers Mount failed to cope with a 4lb rise last time having won over a longer trip than this at Wolverhampton before that and Appyjack makes more appeal on the back of a couple of placed efforts on the Polytrack. Boris The Bold finished third here back in January but has his first start since. Pastoral Dancer and Meetha Achar are worth noting on their handicap debuts however.
