Wicked Sea won easily at Salisbury last week and is preferred to stablemate Roundhead. The latter finished third behind Carlini at Windsor last time and is 5lb higher today. Enzo is back on a winning mark but several have more scope including Dukeofwallingford, Face Like Thunder and Makambe but a chance is taken on DIOCLES OF ROME. Ralph Beckett’s colt was no match for an odds-on favourite in a maiden race at Nottingham last time but should be thereabouts at the finish on his handicap debut.
