Formscan By Tom Weekes - ROYAL HOLLOW has been running well in Graded races recently and might turn Down Royal November placings with Sansrisk and win. Throughly consistent, the selection is ideally suited by good ground and while closely matched with Sansrisk on two previous meetings, is 7lb better off today than when beaten over three lengths by that rival last month. Sansrisk was well held at Newbury most recently but is herself generally consistent. Well-bred Dream On Baby caused an upset when scooting clear to score over course-and-distance last month, and while she faces battle-hardened rivals, is open to vast improvement being a four-year-old. Cottesloe Sunshine has good recent form and should compete while CD winner Beauforts Storm steps up in grade.
