Verdict
ROYAL ENTOURAGE followed up a fourth at this track with victory at Musselburgh last time. Pulled out of a race at Catterick yesterday, he's 9lb higher today but dropped in class and may have too much for the other recent winner Sam D'Oc. The latter scored at the same meeting at Musselburgh but over the longer trip of 3m. Better is expected from Himayna back up in distance with first-time headgear applied and points winner Mrs Peacock has tumbled down the weights since this time last year and may also finish closer on her reappearance.
