Verdict

Twilight Romance made a very promising debut at Haydock and was always travelling nicely when scoring comfortably at York. He should again take care of runner-up We Never Stop at a difference of just 4lb, though the latter pulled hard and may do better with more restraint. The Camden Colt has been outclassed in much stronger company at Epsom and Ascot since scoring at Haydock so this can go to BARG, an emphatic winner of what looked a decent contest at Ripon.
