Verdict
Ron Thompson's Roman De Brut has been in fine form lately around here, winning twice. He's been raised 6lb since his latest victory but shouldn't be far away again. TIJUCA may have been a shade unlucky when favourite over track and trip last week, however, as he missed the break and then had to be switched in the closing stages. He's been left on the same mark so gets the nod. Actonetaketwo was ahead of Stanlow and only beaten a neck over a slightly shorter trip here last month and there are also possibilities about Incurs Four Faults if first-time blinkers have the desired effect.
