Verdict
A match between Blue Romance and Henrietta with preference going to the former. Paul Nicholls' representative was scheduled to race in the bumper at the five day stage but the attraction of receiving a stone in weight from Henrietta looks to have been too much. Martin Pipe's charge has done little wrong in her races but she has beaten little and looks as if she will be suited by significantly further in time. Tin Symphony ran a sound race at Newbury in a bumper and may be the one if the market principals fluff their lines. Seven Air ran well to finish fourth to Tinveritas as Worcester in a bumper but has shown little since that effort last March. Blue Romance is given our vote of confidence.
