Tanawar finished just ahead of Just The Tonic when fifth at Thirsk recently and should confirm running on better terms. But preference goes to ROYAL DUCHESS, who has a recent comeback run under her belt and scored over track and trip in October. Keene's Pointe has won twice on the all-weather but usually comes up short on this surface while Betty Boo has just the one win in 27 starts and is 6lb higher today. Ellies Image scored on fast ground over course and distance last year but has not raced since July.
