In the hope that there's a good pace to aim at, ROYAL COUNTESS gets the nod having shaped well when a close third over C&D last week following a 9-month absence. Sorbonne's reappearance effort on the all-weather was encouraging and he is feared most, for all that a slower surface would be ideal. Ayr Poet is also accorded respect.
