Verdict
WHITE ROYALE finished third in a tight finish at Newcastle recently and headgear is applied for the first time. She finished a creditable fourth in Class 2 company on her only previous start on this surface and gets the nod on her return. Nuzha won her maiden over track and trip last month but was well beaten back in a handicap last time while Dixie's Double is another maiden winner and Mesmeric Moment has won a seller in soft ground at Windsor. The latter pair make their Fibresand debuts along with handicap newcomer Wild Approach.
