The form of Tuesday's BMW Mile handicap looks key. PIERRE ROYAL is still unexposed and can turn the tables with Orandi from that contest, better drawn and better off at the weights with that rival this time. Orandi is a big player himself despite a wide stall, with top-weight Jagged Edge, who was perhaps unlucky in third, also considered.
