Verdict
ANOTHER ROMANCE (NAP) made a winning reappearance last year and scored again in Class 2 company at Salisbury in the autumn. She can go close with the Crisfords’ yard firing-in the winners. Lethal Nymph also represents a stable in good form and will be sharper for last month’s outing though found Juan Les Pins too good when the latter scored at Doncaster last season. Temple Bruer won at the same track more recently but is back up in class for this while Gulliver ran well in this grade at Ripon last week.
