CACIQUE ROYALE can improve on his run over C&D when last seen in September to win at the third time of asking on the surface. The four-year-old finished second of 14 beaten a ½L in a race that has produced the winner, Pak Army and the third, Yamato to win since. The Tony Martin-trained The Mouse Doctor is a previous winner at this venue and could be of interest from a declining mark while, C&D winner Park Row, the Conor O'Dwyer-trained Jon Ess and the solid and consistent Cautious Approach are all entitled to have designs on prize money in this competitive contest. Course winner, Cocohulababy in first-time blinkers could be a lively outsider for trainer Noel Meade.
