Henry Croft found one too good over 1m4f at Brighton last time but CAT ROYALE scored over today’s distance at Lingfield. Only 2lb higher, he’s taken to confirm running with both Still Got It and La Mernancia. Gift From God has been creeping closer over track and trip recently while Hidden Dream posted a better effort last time and Star Girl has plenty of scope stepping up in distance for this.
