Royal Reef is penalised for last week’s course and distance success when BE MY SEA (NAP) finished third. But the latter is fancied to turn the tables on today’s revised terms and Tony Carroll’s charge gets the nod. Knight's Parade ran well for fourth in a tougher contest here in April and has been chasing subsequently while Thunder Pass won twice over 1m6f last year but has not raced since September. An Fear Ciuin also won over 1m6f when successful at Southwell last time but Sabre Rock has shown nothing in a couple of outings since rattling-up a five-timer over 1m2f at Lingfield. Giant Redwood has also been well beaten so far this year though drops in class for this.
