I have no doubts she’d see out 3m so would be a live Pertemps horse should they take that route, 33s looks OK but she’s one with a few possible targets so a small any race cover might be a sensible play….

Myself and Saxon have both put up pretty much the same case. she was still going ok the other day when she made a race ending mistake. Not saying she would have won but would have been much closer. She also employed different tactics by sitting in behind rather than take up the running. I am still with her at 33s and think ill get a good run for my money in March

I can understand why single bet punters are staying away but, if you're making a book, I really don't understand why last weekend was encouraging for TMSG and Heaven Help Us but no-one seems interested in Royal Kahala. at 20/1. Agreed that a Flemensfirth might prefer soft ground but her form on g/s is perfectly acceptable and her shrewd trainer feels she will come on for the run.

Was a big fan of RK last year, but nothing about her screams ante post bet.

I would personally prefer course form even on the new course to something that ran poorly here on her only previous attempt. Maybe it was just an off day for royal kahala but her lack of course form puts me off her a bit.

If you finish lame I'd say it excuses an off day but RK was clearly better than the other 2 the last time and direct form is as important as course form for me.
As I said, as a single ante-post real money bet, she's not outstanding but if you're building a book I'd have thought that she's worth her place alongside the other two simply on the basis of the recent race. I don't do books so I was interested in why those who do would omit her but have the other two.
