Royal Entourage stepped up to 2m4f and lost his maiden tag over hurdles at Musselburgh. A 9lb rise in the weights won't help but he'll get good support from Joanna Mason and he's on the short-list. Dar Es Salaam came from out of the clouds to almost catch Well Green at Lingfield but is still a maiden and ran poorly over this C&D previously. Another maiden, Kingdom Of Munster, is still looking too high in the weights while it was a poor seller in very heavy ground that On The Right Path won at Uttoxeter. The front-running KARMADICE twice ran well here at the turn of the year and, with the ground now in his favour, he's taken to make all under Samantha Drake.
