Winner at Chelmsford City in December. Good third of 7 to Danehill Star in handicap at this C&D (AW, 6/5) 13 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Expected to be bang there off the same mark.

Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. 11/2, 26 lengths sixth of 7 to Danehill Star in handicap at this C&D (AW) 13 days ago. Not taken lightly if shrugging off latest effort.

Forecasts

Royal Observatory (6/4), Danehill Star (3/1), Major Major (11/2), Villalobos (8/1), Fascinating Lips (11/1), Laurentia (14/1), Mr Trick (16/1), Deep Blue (25/1), Sunset In Paris (25/1), Emperor Dream (33/1), Mapogo (50/1), King's Conquest (150/1)

Verdict

A few with chances but ROYAL OBSERVATORY is knocking on the door and weighted to resume winning ways on the back of his recent C&D third when not seen to ideal effect. Recent Kempton scorer Villalobos rates a big threat though, with C&D victor Danehill Star also well in the mix.

  1. Royal Observatory6/4
  2. Villalobos8/1
  3. Danehill Star3/1
