Race preview
A runner-up on both outings to date, REGAL DESIRE could be set to shed her maiden tag. Brian Ellison's filly can be counted as an unlucky loser after being badly hampered at Beverley on her most recent start and she might be able to thwart Le Samourai's follow-up bid. The New Bay gelding put a lacklustre debut behind him when making all at Kempton, but a 7lb penalty does demand more. Brighton Beach completes the shortlist.
