Camlad Kingfisher and TINGO IN THE TALE were second and third here last month with the former delivering a useful performance on a first start since wind surgery. The question is whether he'll repeat that level now but the consistent Tingo In The Tale, a course and distance winner, likes it round here and probably rates a safer percentage call. It would not surprise if Royal Beekeeper, yet to spark since joining the Skelton yard, produced an improved effort, whilst father and son team up with Head Lad who showed little in a couple of starts in the spring but has every chance if repeating pre-Christmas form last year at Chepstow and Stratford.
