The ratings suggest this should be a shoe-in for ROYAL REWARD. She finished a long way ahead of Chapel Lass, Atwaar, Tiddlywinks and True Jewel over 5f here last time and, though probably not lasting home over an extended 7f at Vaal last month, should cope with the extra furlong. Eurovaar was second over an extra half-furlong here last month but doesn’t have a progressive profile overall while it’s difficult to see any of the others overturning the likely hot favourite on their form to date.
