In depth
Verdict
Romeo Brown ran no sort of race at Kelso last time having earlier gone close at Market Rasen. A couple of these finished runner-up over track and trip last month including Robsam but EDEN COLLONGES finished second in a faster time and may edge this. What A Glance posted a better effort at Fontwell last time and is upped in trip along with Calvinist, who finished fourth over 2m4f here in November and has a recent run under his belt.
