It took Royal Heart 15 attempts to open his account though he won with a bit in hand over 7f here a week ago. He steps up in trip carrying 5lb extra and the less-exposed BALLYBAYMOONSHINER is preferred. The latter just missed out when third over course and distance last week and the runner-up has already boosted the for. Fact Or Fable remains 8lb higher than when successful here last month though has the beating of Strategic Fortune while Jeremiah Johnson returns to this shorter trip after a couple of better efforts over 1m2f.
