Mick Slates hasn't looked like winning in a couple of starts since scoring at Southwell in November but Regal Acclaim followed up a win at Carlisle with another good run at Ayr in September and can figure. However, ROSIE'S LADY posted a better effort when chasing home the winner in soft ground at Newcastle on her reappearance and, with further progress expected, David O'Meara's filly gets the nod to go one better. Chart went close at Kempton on his penultimate start and Martha's Way was only beaten a length when third at Wolverhampton last time and that pair look best of the rest.
