EMBESTO (2) raced too keenly when fifth in the G3 Earl of Sefton Stakes at Newmarket (1m1f) resuming in April. Most Roger Varian trained horses have been needing their first outing of the campaign this season and so the Roaring Lion gelding is considered. REGAL REALITY (4) finished fourth in the aforementioned G3 before running third in the G2 Huxley Stakes over 1m2 1/2f at Chester. Those two efforts will have put him spot on for this and having won this last year must be respected. Class-dropping HIGHLAND AVENUE (1) needs to be included after a break. EPICTETUS (3) could also be in the mix if ready to go following seven months off.
