TRIGGERED (NAP) could only manage third over track and trip last week but that was in a Class 3 sprint and Mark Loughnane’s charge will find life easier at this lower level. Royal Advice also drops down a grade though finished behind Patsy Fagan when the latter won here last month. Tyger Bay went close in an amateurs’ race at Kempton last time and Haseef will be sharper for a recent comeback run and has more scope than most.
