Race preview

REGAL AND ROYAL won a brace of handicaps in the early part of the season at Bangor before returning with plenty of credit when runner-up at the same venue a fortnight ago and a 4lb rise is unlikely to stop his progression. Luminaries commands plenty of respect in his bid for a C&D hat-trick, while the application of cheekpieces might aid the cause of Time Was.
