Few make any appeal and ROYAL MOGUL may well defy a penalty. He scored at Catterick on his first start after wind surgery and further improvement looks on the cards. Allibaba failed to settle when sent off favourite at Thurles on his hurdling bow and has switched yards subsequently while Sageburg County and Yeomen Warder are likely improvers. Benassi debuts under Rules having finished closer between the flags back in April.
