Verdict
With two wins from his last three starts over course and distance, we’re loathe to desert ROMANOR raised only 3lb. Coal Stock has been beaten twice off this mark since successful over 2m5f here last month but For Pleasure might enjoy himself on this sharp track and can be hard to peg back if allowed to dominate.
