Verdict
RONALDINHO got his act together in August when recording a quick double. A 6f victory at this track was followed by a win over a mile at Salisbury and there looks more to come. Stablemate Mystical Moment is no back number but has something to prove over today's trip as does I'm Back, a winner over 7f at Newmarket and carrying his owners first colours ahead of Filfil. Pompeia and Lizzie Tudor are not out of this on their handicap debuts but Winged Icarus and Rafale look up against it.
