Bond Royale, Ronnie From Donny and Star Lad are the three course and distance winners in the race. The former has been raised a pound for being beaten by subsequent winner Miss Champers last time. Star Lad is a pound better off for finishing a half-length behind him that day (Whippasnapper was well behind) and it should again be close between the pair. Ronnie From Donny has been raised 6lbs for winning at the first time of asking for trainer Brian Ellison in a maiden over course and distance. He too should go well. El Habeeba is quite well bred but has shown little in three Turf outings. Singularity was just denied in a Southwell claimer last time. Repeat drops back in trip after showing some improvement here last time (dropped 3lbs for that run). Zafine is certainly entitled to a shout off her current mark as she handles the surface and is running over six furlongs for only the second time today. She is closely weighted with Aegean Magic on their Lingfield runs on 27 November. That race has worked out well. However, a good draw and known ability to act on the surface points to Bond Royale and he gets the TEAMtalk vote.
