Formscan - Royale Union is unexposed, with the daughter of Starman making her handicap debut. That said, her best run to date came over 6f when second at Ripon so whether she stays a mile remains to be seen. With that in mind, GLORIOUS KITTY is preferred. A winner over C&D earlier in the season, she is a likely pace angle who could end up getting her own way on the front end. Motawaared has been knocking on the door and completes the shortlist.
