A chance is taken on HIGHLY REGAL. A course regular, Roger Teal's gelding can improve on his September runs at the track now dropped in grade. His yard is in good form, as are the horses of Dean Ivory who saddles Master Mylo. Eolith is a fellow course winner and a return to this surface will suit after a soft ground flop at HQ, whilst the return to a mile will suit Highland Quaich. Ryan Moore is a positive booking for Warning Song, however a bigger threat might be Squall now the headgear is removed. Blue Lyric's mark may be a tad prohibitive and the filly is held by Highland Quaich on their run here in January.
