Kantara Castle has strong claims of landing a hat trick after picking up a couple of plating races, including one over track and trip when just getting the better of Jazzy Lady. But the latter had earlier finished nearly three lengths behind BOOGANGOO in a handicap over course and distance and collateral form strongly suggests Keith Dalgleish's filly can come out best in this. Mildenhall has little chance at the weights and it doesn't bode well to see Royal Rainford making his racecourse debut in a lowly seller.
