ROYAL CAVIAR is making his chasing debut a bit later than ideal but doesn't have many miles on the clock and his form in bumpers and over hurdles bears the closest scrutiny, especially his two defeats at Grade level behind Sutton Place. A Sizing Network has the advantage of chasing experience having already run nine times over fences and there was plenty to like about his latest run behind the promising Tully East here earlier this month. Keppols Queen, a dual Grade 3 winner over timber, showed the benefit of her debut with a much better run behind Daisy's Gift at Wexford and can make further progress but the once useful hurdler Joxer hasn't run since March 2014.
