In depth
Verdict
It could pay to stick with SPRING ROMANCE given he’s won two of three outings since joining Mick Appleby. He scored over 6f here before going in again over today’s trip at Kempton and can defy a penalty. Salam Ya Faisal has found one too good in both starts in handicaps and debuts on the surface but The Retriever scored over track and trip last week. The latter was beaten by Mister Freeze here earlier in the year while Lara Silvia never threatened when third over a mile at the track last time.
