SCEAU ROYAL hasn't been seen since the end of January, but he had the measure of Brain Power when winning at Sandown prior to that, and looks a top-class chaser in the making. He can take this on his return with a race-fit Le Prezien perhaps his main danger, although the latter, like Brain Power, has a habit of belting one.
