Dual winner TERRIES ROYALE chased home a useful sort on final start last season and is best forgiven his reappearance in an amateur jockeys' handicap earlier this month. He's taken to get back on track, with confidence even higher should rainfall arrive, while ultra-consistent Milteye posted a career-best to win at Carlisle last time and is feared most. With plenty of front-runners in the field, dual C&D winner Mount King could be the one to pick up the pieces if the pace is overly strong.
