CYFLYMDER, Romanticize and Santefisio make the shortlist here with Cyflymder taken to follow up a fine recent success. After winning her maiden, Romanticize took on a useful type next time, and was only run out of it in the closing stages. The winner has scored again since and the form looks solid, though inexperience in such a competitive contest may count against her. Santefisio finished last on his debut, but the gelding improved significantly to pull off a major shock next time. Further improvement can see him go well, though it may not have been a strong contest when he scored. Cyflymder was winning for the second time this season when getting on top in the closing stages at Sandown recently. A reproduction of that effort may well be good enough for Cyflymder to follow up off only a 4lb higher mark.
