Having raced prominently, Morello Royale weakened quickly in a mares' Listed race at Newbury last month and was pulled up. TANIOKEY came back to her best when fifth in the contest and is now a pound better off so it's difficult to see Colin Tizzard's charge turning the tables here. None of the other runners look to be in the same league as the two previous winners and are likely to be playing for places.
