In depth
Verdict
Royal Dynasty has won six times on the all-weather and it is probably only a matter of time before she breaks her duck on Turf, though she is best over 7f. Madame Tantzy is very interesting after a pipe-opener at Newmarket in which she wasn’t beaten far and she looks the danger to LIGHTS ON. Sir Michael Stoute’s filly has only run twice on this surface so far, finishing second at Leicester and then only going down by a head on her handicap debut at Musselburgh last year. She won at Newcastle in between and there should be more to come in her second season. Poet's Lady and Rosa Gold could also go well with a run under their belts.
