Big Amigo has a penalty for last week's comfortable course and distance victory but still looks reasonably treated though runner-up Hadley and third-placed Tavener, who were beaten around two lengths, should get closer on these terms. TREATY OF ROME started out with Aidan O'Brien and didn't make his debut for Derek Shaw until here late last month then attempted to make all on a return visit a few days later. He was only caught in the final strides and is 4lb lower in the weights so can gain his first success. Mustn't Grumble has never won on the all-weather but Ocotillo didn't stay a mile on his first visit here last month before scoring over this trip at Wolverhampton.
