Last year's victor SCEAU ROYAL teed himself up perfectly for a repeat performance when comfortably accounting for Silver Streak at Kempton last month, so Alan King's likeable sort can fend off Kingwell scorer Goshen, who could easily bounce back now with his yard among the winners. Christoper Wood can't be ruled out either if a wind op ekes out some more improvement.
