Unless one of the newcomers turns out to be something relatively exciting, this should be between
Royal Household and
MAY REMAIN with the latter narrowly preferred due to his prove ability to run repeatedly solid races. He did well to beat an odds-on shot a this course last time over a furlong shorter, and the extra distance shouldn't be a problem for him. The first-named may well also go well here after a debut performance which was impressive enough, but just can't be contextualized in terms of the form of the race with none of his rivals on that occasion having done anything special since. Of the newcomers perhaps
Expediate can give them most to think about.
