Twilight Romance finally added to his maiden success when scoring at Leicester last month. He could prove competitive once again, given the runner-up has subsequently won, but PALS BATTALION is taken to edge this contest. The latter showed progressive form when winning three times on the all-weather over the winter, and can launch another strong challenge having finished runner-up at Thirsk a fortnight ago. Rock Opera showed signs of a resurgence when second at Pontefract and could shape well. |
Rock Opera returned to form when in behind a next time out winner Mister Sox who ran with credit in the Churchill Tyres Handicap at York earlier this week, he relishes fast conditions and won over C&D from 1lb higher last term. Pals Battalion has been in top order on AW winning four times since October and was a close second at Thirsk last time, but TWILIGHT ROMANCE sets the standard he took advantage of a career low mark down into this grade last time and could follow up. Gressington is another of interest in first time visor second time out this year, he's 2/2 when encountering good to firm ground. |
