ROYAL DRESS (NAP) ticks all the boxes. She made all when scoring on soft going at Doncaster last month and further progress is expected on her handicap bow with Ryan Moore taking over the reins. Pontefract third California Gem is more exposed but should go well again along with Tasever but Lakota Blue and Kessaar Power have both been raised 4lb for recent victories. Commander Straker makes his handicap debut on his return to action and is more favourably drawn than both Winter Crown and She's Centimental.
