REGAL ENVOY remains unexposed on the all-weather and may well shrug off a 6lb rise having made all when returning a clear winner over track and trip. Bellagio Man won a lower grade sprint at Newcastle while Intervention also faces a tougher task than when runner-up at Kempton and was beaten by Coup De Force over 5f here in August. Heartrate returns to the all-weather with a shout and A Pint Of Bear showed signs of a return to form last time.
