SIENNA ROYALE has been below form both starts this term, but she looked unsuited by the drop in trip at Exeter last time, so is worth another chance now moving back up to a more suitable distance. Mac Amara and Ermyn's Emerald make most appeal of the opposition, though strong market support for handicap-debutant Bob Backus would put a slightly different slant on matters.
