Verdict

Beau Mistral beat Assertive Agent at Brighton last year and is penalised for a more recent victory at Wolverhampton. Tell A Story drops back to 6f for the first time as she makes her handicap debut but BE ROYALE gets another chance. She never recovered from a slow start at Kempton last time but had been narrowly beaten at the same track before that and should have the measure of these if running up to the same level here. Last Star Falling and Penny Dreadful are both course and distance winners with the latter back on a winning mark but out of form.
