Verdict

Romil Star is marginally preferred to Hawkit and Come What July. Romil Star is an infrequent winner but this is his grade and he is at least reliable. Opportunities for nine-year-olds are few and far between and this appears an obvious one. Come What July is one of the better ones in on figures. Unfortunately he seems to have completely lost his way of late and his followers really are in the last chance saloon. Hawkit has moved to David Evans following spells with Alan Bailey and Jamie Osborne. He was well held by Macaroni Gold on his first foray at this level and could have been better drawn. Giunchiglio is here without the cheekpieces this afternoon. Officially he is worst in on figures but his brain is perhaps his biggest hinderance. Power Glory is potentially unexposed and is watched in the market. Simply The Guest is another to have lost his way. Romil Star is offered up in a tough seller.
