Wor Rom ran well when only beaten a length by Itzacliche over 3m6f here on Thursday. But this drop in distance isn't necessarily in his favour and KILVERGAN BOY was still in front and travelling well when unseating his rider on the final circuit in that race. Nigel Twiston-Davies' charge could be worth a chance to make amends. Archie's Wish won over 3m3f at Sedgefield last year so the step up in trip will be no problem but he ran poorly when co-favourite at that track last week and Sailor's Sovereign hasn't raced since finishing runner-up over C&D in May and is 6lb higher now.
