The usual suspects line-up for this low grade affair. For Shia And Lula and Cyflymder have both won over a mile here recently and have a shout. Ishi Honest finished ahead of Perfect Pastime when scoring over track and trip on her penultimate start while Bertie Blu Boy and Officer In Command are placed at the track on a regular basis. But a purely speculative vote goes the way of ROYAL COLLEGE as he's less exposed than most and led for 7f over the mile trip at Kempton last time.
