In depth
Verdict
Nine Bean Rows went backwards after a promising start and has never raced on the surface, nor has Miracle Cure though the latter looks the type to do better this year. ROMAN GENERAL has proved costly to follow but undoubtedly came up against a progressive type when runner-up to Kedelston in a handicap here last week. He's not one to risk the mortgage on as he doesn't always look too keen but this looks a good opportunity and he can get off the mark. Hurricane Hugo and Mazarak are both related to plenty of winners and should be noted in the betting on their debuts.
