Verdict
ROMEO AMERICO won over a shorter trip here last month but was placed over a similar distance to this at Fontwell earlier. Seamus Mullins’ charge is preferred to another recent winner in Bostin, who took advantage of a slide down the weights to score at Fontwell and is back up 6lb. Phare Isle won by a only a neck at Fakenham recently but drops down a grade while Lime Street is another to consider having posted a much better effort when third at Ffos Las on his latest start.
