ROYAL FLEET is hard to get a true handle on as he's landed a couple of novice races quite nicely but now moves into handicap company for the first time. However. Charlie Appleby sends many of his progressive charges here and it's probably best to stay with the Dubawi colt until beaten. An 81-day absence should prove inconvenient. Kaheall is another we've almost certainly yet to see the best of despite him looking to make it four on the bounce. He's made hard work at times of the job in hand but looks nicely treated and William Haggas places horses superbly. Qaader, seventh in the Britannia at Royal Ascot, and Latest Generation, are next best.
