Kilmington Rose got off the mark in a small-field handicap at Warwick last month but may need to improve again to get the better of ROYAL PRACTITIONER. Liam Harrison takes a valuable 5lb off Fergal O’Brien’s late developer, who ran well at Uttoxeter after winning at Worcester despite spreading a plate. Grumpy Freya has the scope to make a hurdler with Taunton runner-up Nostalgica like to prove the pick of Chris Down’s pair.
