ROYAL MER has fallen to a handy mark and may be able to go one better than on reappearance at Warwick last month. He'll appreciate any rainfall, as will Bonza Boy who has a good record at this track and should step forward from his comeback run. Of the rest, Kingcormac was successful at Hereford last time and could feature again if they go a good pace, while course winners Passing Kate and Haas Boy cannot be discounted in an open-looking handicap.
