Verdict
Warbreck, Romil Star and Kylkenny look the principals in this claimer, and the nomination is given to Romil Star. The selection won in facile fashion last time out when defeating Newtonian with Warbreck back in fourth. Granted that rival is better off at the weights here but he will need to improve significantly to gain his revenge even on these revised terms. Kylkenny rates the main danger as he goes very well at the track but he looks exposed. In contrast Romil Star looks to have scope for improvement. Bella Pavlina has place claims on his best form but he is far from consistent so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Royal Lustere was a fair second behind Keltic Rainbow last time and is another with place claims but for the winner we return to Romil Star who won with plenty in hand last time out.
