    In depth

    Verdict

    Kiera Royale has found life harder since scoring at Ffos Las in February but is now on a mark just 3lb above her winning figure in Wales. Caviciana, yet to score in 12 starts under Rules, is consistent enough and made a pleasing chase debut behind an in-form sort last month. More is expected off the same mark. Makety possibly underperformed as a hurdler but has always looked more of a chaser and is interesting. Going along with a chasing debutant in a handicap is not always the wisest move but JUST ONCE has been running really well over hurdles and connections are wasting no time in going chasing with her at the age of five.
