A change of tactics saw Dualagi make all over C&D distance last time and she can go close again under a similar ride. South African Gold got off the mark here in November and there should be more to come from the three-year-old, but Loyal Royal usually finds at least one too good. WHITE SHIFT has won twice on Polytrack this year and scored off a higher mark at Bath back in May. She has her first start for Jane Chapple-Hyam here and the change of scenery may prompt a big run at a decent price.
