Fair form in bumpers at Huntingdon and Warwick last March. Will probably need to pull out more to make a successful return.

Realta Royale³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Harry Bannister| T: T Lawes| D

Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Taunton last month. More on her plate out of her own sex but she may well have more to offer.

Form: 1

Forecasts

Itso Fury (13/8), Onewayortother (9/4), Spago (13/2), Hurricane Bay (7/1), Realta Royale (11/1), Sorceress Medea (16/1), Dondiam (28/1), Elevated (66/1)

Having changed hands for six figures after a promising bumper run in Ireland, ITSO FURY surpassed that form when third in a good contest at Southwell last month and a repeat of that level may well suffice. Spago is a newcomer for the powerful Paul Nicholls yard, while Realta Royale made a winning debut at Taunton and is open to progress.
