ROYAL PATRONAGE was no match for the odds-on Native Trail when second at Sandown but the latter has subsequently won the Group 2 Superlative Stakes and Mark Johnston’s colt should go close on that form. Captain Square placed over track and trip last time and is preferred to stablemate Attache while Bondi Man and Firth Of Clyde look likely improvers having both shown some ability on their respective debuts.
