A combination of headgear witnessed MUST BE ROYALE win over 7f here last time. It was soft ground on his only previous attempt at today’s trip and he looks worth another try. Diffident Spirit ran well at Lingfield in between his more usual moderate efforts while Last Mission won off today’s mark at Kempton back in January. Both Mighty Mind and Bristol Hill drop down in trip having also slipped down the weights.
