Race preview
We could be all set for a Royal winner at HQ as FOOD FOR THOUGHT looks to have been found a good opening to get back in the winning groove. She won readily at Nottingham in June, albeit in a three-runner race, and just got touched off by a handicap debutant of William Haggas' at Salisbury last time. Ralph Beckett's filly is the obvious pace angle in here and she might prove a tough nut to crack if getting it easy on the front end. Thaluna and Hollywell Stream will keep her honest, and Valkyrie Storm will be out to put her superior experience to good use.
