Dansili Dutch was engaged to run here yesterday but should figure if taking part. Be Royale bids for a hat-trick of course wins having scored with a bit in hand over track and trip last time though he's been upped 9lb for this. GALILEE CHAPEL beat the re-opposing Do More Business here on his latest start and they looked closely matched on the face of it. But the former has tumbled down the weights since winning his maiden and should be capable of even better today now he's rediscovered his form.
