Regal Royale can land the nightcap at the main expense of Realt Na Mara and Outside Edge. The selection was only beaten a head by Exit Strategy here last time out and a reproduction of that effort should be enough to see him get his head in front tonight. Realt Na Mara ran a sound race at Sandown last time and the return to 6f is a big plus for him tonight. Outside Edge finished fourth behind Kanon last time out, but that filly was a little disappointing at Brighton on Thursday. Cativo Cavallino is on a decent mark at present and he shaped with promise at Great Leighs last time. He can go well at a price, but for the winner we will return to Regal Royale.
