Verdict
ROYAL CHATELIER produced a late rally but just failed to catch the first two home when third over 2m4f at Uttoxeter last month. He'll appreciate this longer trip and can take advantage of the drop in class. Both Brunette'sonly and No Woman No Cry finished second over 3m on their latest starts and could both figure, but Laughing Game has won over 2m5f at Market Rasen and could prove a bigger threat on his return to action with David Bass doing the steering. Chestnut Ben went close at Folkestone last month and is another to consider.
