Russian Royale's cause is helped by an apprentice's 7lb allowance and she should have come on for a reappearance third at Salisbury. Panettone disappointed over 1m4f last time but scored over today's trip at Windsor earlier while Pink Lips went close at Nottingham on her penultimate start. But a couple of handicap debutants could end up fighting this one out. Dubai Hadeia is likely to improve for the longer distance but CAPE MYSTERY is preferred on her second over 1m2f at Newbury last month.
