ROYAL RAIDER wears a visor for the first time to sharpen him up and has the ability to land a race of this nature with both Bold King and Kitty Allen worth noting. The selection landed a seller on his race course debut at Chepstow during the summer and was very quickly aimed at some unrealistic targets. She disappointed in Listed and Group company and although she has been beaten in selling and claiming company since the visors could aid her chances considerably. Bold King won a handicap at Kempton on her latest start having shown only a modest amount of ability in selling races beforehand. That does not say much about the form of her winning race so she therefore has to be treated with caution. Kitty Allen drops in grade for the first time and has shown ability in better races than this in the past. She is still unexposed so is worth noting for any market moves in the betting market.
