Eve Johnson Houghton has sent a major raiding party north and FAVOURITE ROYAL should be a live contender here for the Oxfordshire yard. She gained her first success in six starts when getting the better of Ghadaayer, form boosted by the latter's Newmarket victory over the weekend. The Stalking Moon is another three-year-old with claims off a feasible mark while Little Miss Kodi went well here on her penultimate start and won't be far away if reproducing that run. Alexandrakollontai has inconsistent form figures but is respected.
