Hasn't looked back since being ridden more positively, winning 1m handicaps at Lingfield (AW) and twice at Chepstow; won decisively on the latest occasion and although she's penalised, she is now back against her own sex; solid contender. |

Ran respectably in May on his only two starts on soft ground; clocked up a good sequence on good and good to firm this summer and 1m2f may help to explain a lesser show last time; ground is the bigger query.

Sole run on heavy was in 2022; two good runs over 7f on soft this term, notably on latest start when badly hampered leaving the stalls on his way to a close, running-on second at Sandown; won over 1m on good there the time before, which leaves him with a bit to prove on softer ground but he otherwise has plenty to recommend him.

Verdict
On a roll and having clearly demonstrated his proficiency over 1m on soft ground, TERRIES ROYALE may win again. Hat Toss has a bit more to prove over 1m on soft than 7f on soft, so Kynsa (with form in the mud last term) and Questionable (clicked with new tactics last time) may pose the chief threats.[Richard Austen]
