STAR OF ROHM has had plenty of chances but none as easy as this. He's dropped in class after his latest fourth to Baddilini in a Haydock handicap and should be opening his account today. Emirates Echo is not far behind on official ratings and despite being a losing favourite at Brighton last time, he looks the main danger to the selection. North Pole, Al Udeid and Floating Along are all expected to improve while Classy Trick is worth noting on his debut.
