Royal Practitioner was a shock winner at Worcester earlier this month and may lack the scope of COULD BE TROUBLE. The Irish import beat a good yardstick when making a winning start for Donald McCain at Ayr having won a Gowran maiden for Barry Fitzgerald in March – Theo Gillard takes off a handy 5lb. Fivetotwelve doesn’t look very progressive but has place claims again with Merry Mistress also a possibility.
