ROYAL DISPATCH (5) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing 12th and beaten 15 lengths starting at 6/1. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. COAL RIVER (1) Erica Byrne Burke who has two wins when partnering stays on. Sure to play a big role. GODDESS OF ROCK (4) turned in a eye-catching run last start over 1m at this track, winding up hard from well back on straightening to finish a close third. Should feature in the finish again. ZURICH (2) proved too strong two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when eighth over 1m2f at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Expect a better run this time.
