Race preview
Paul Nicholls has saddled the last couple of winners of this race and his Kayf Taoi, who made a pleasing hurdles debut at Hereford 30 days ago, warrants plenty of respect with first-time cheekpieces applied, but LAST ROYAL rates the one to beat. He only found a smart Jeremy Scott inmate too good over a similar trip at Exeter last month and a repeat performance could suffice. Fontwell runner-up Watergrange Jack shouldn't be too far away either.
