ROMIEU looked desperately unfortunate not to win at Newcastle recently, having been denied a clear run for much of the final two furlongs. He kept on into second and is very interesting from an unchanged mark, especially with talented apprentice Elizabeth Gale booked to ride. Archivist made a successful start to his handicap career over the mile here a fortnight ago so appeals under the penalty. C&D winner Thunder Run isn't berthed favourably but he can't be underestimated, while others to note include See That Storm and Ancient Rome. |
The two to stand out in an ultra-competitive affair are SEE THAT STORM and Archivist. Preference is for the former who has posted two fine seconds since kicking off this season with a class 3 handicap win to stretch the winning streak from last year when scoring in his last three runs. His latest second, over course and distance on fast ground, represented another small step forward and he can maintain the progression and go close. Archivist is seeking a hat-trick having won here over a mile shaping as if the extra couple of furlongs today will be right up his street. William Haggas's three-year-old is a smart propsect and has not reached his ceiling. Hand Of God is coming to the boil and is feared along with top-weight Thunder Run, a class act who improved again to win over course and distance last time but Romieu appeals more as an each way alternative. He showed he gets this 1m2f (flopped only try prior) last time when narrowly denied, goes well on quick ground and has scope for a fair bit of improvement yet |

ROMIEU looked desperately unfortunate not to win at Newcastle recently, having been denied a clear run for much of the final two furlongs. He kept on into second and is very interesting from an unchanged mark, especially with talented apprentice Elizabeth Gale booked to ride. Archivist made a successful start to his handicap career over the mile here a fortnight ago so appeals under the penalty. C&D winner Thunder Run isn't berthed favourably but he can't be underestimated, while others to note include See That Storm and Ancient Rome. |
The two to stand out in an ultra-competitive affair are SEE THAT STORM and Archivist. Preference is for the former who has posted two fine seconds since kicking off this season with a class 3 handicap win to stretch the winning streak from last year when scoring in his last three runs. His latest second, over course and distance on fast ground, represented another small step forward and he can maintain the progression and go close. Archivist is seeking a hat-trick having won here over a mile shaping as if the extra couple of furlongs today will be right up his street. William Haggas's three-year-old is a smart propsect and has not reached his ceiling. Hand Of God is coming to the boil and is feared along with top-weight Thunder Run, a class act who improved again to win over course and distance last time but Romieu appeals more as an each way alternative. He showed he gets this 1m2f (flopped only try prior) last time when narrowly denied, goes well on quick ground and has scope for a fair bit of improvement yet |
