Race preview
ROYAL PRACTITIONER proved her 50/1 debut success was no fluke when getting closest to a rapidly-improving mare at Uttoxeter. Fergal O'Brien's eight-year-old didn't taste competitive action until May but seems capable of making up for lost time. Bellaney Gem is the other penalised runner in the field, thanks to her Sedgefield success in April, and she will relish this test after struggling over fences at Tramore. Durragh has hit the crossbar in a couple of bumpers since joining Donald McCain and she completes the shortlist.
