KIERA ROYALE won at Worcester in July when last seen over fences and she is marginally preferred to Marilyn Monroe, who could be well treated despite being 2lb out of the handicap. Roseisaroseisarose has been thereabouts lately and also looks a threat but Barden Bella has been a weak finisher the last twice and On The Quiet and Oriental Cross may both need this.
