Not many of these inspire confidence but ROMANTIC was having only his second start since last summer when beaten less than a length at Wolverhampton and is taken to confirm running with Sheer Intensity. Karam Albaari wasn’t beaten far when fourth over 1m4f here last time while Exspectation was only a couple of lengths behind the winner when fifth over a shorter trip at the track last month. Gracious George should have done better over a mile here last time and has yet to win over this far.
