Verdict
RANO PANO has had 17 career starts on the Flat and over hurdles and is still awaiting a first victory. But Brian Ellison's charge drops into this grade for the first time and if he's ever going to a win a race it will be today. Bajan Hero has gone backwards since winning at Newton Abbot in August and has a penalty to carry while all of Reckless Romeo's runs so far have been on a much softer surface. Neither Linton Hill nor newcomer The Young Master make much appeal, however, so Ferdy Murphy's Irish import may be the danger to the selection.
