        Verdict

        Romil Star absolutely bolted up on Tuesday and is taken to follow up over the likes of Wizard of Us, Secret Jewel and Vandenburghe to name but three. Romil Star won pulling the proverbial cart in a claimer at Southwell on Tuesday but once again lines up in Mrs Burke's colours here. They played into his hands at Southwell as he was able to come off a fast pace to lead before being heavily eased close home by Darren Williams, and as they normally go lickety-split in these type of affairs, Kelly Burke should have the race set up for her as she bids to guide the topweight home. Wizard of Us is one of those that is likely to help force the pace, but he might be taken off his feet near the finish on his first try on the new Polytrack. Secret Jewel has a good partner on board but looked a wee bit reluctant when asked to go about his business in a weak contest at Yarmouth and is worth opposing again. Vandenburghe's stable is in good form at present and he handled this type of surface at Lingfield last time so should go well despite the drop back in trip. Tom Bell is another bidding to follow up, and is worth a mention, but it was hard not to be impressed by Romil Star the other day, so he is the one to beat.
