This looks wide open but veteran Full Trottle was possibly flattered by last month’s second at Kempton. Furiously Fast may have just needed his latest third at Hereford but Romanor is best at Stratford, though didn’t get far there last month having attracted market support. LEGEND OF ZORRO’s Taunton victory is working out well and, while he may not be totally suited by a drop back in trip, there should be a decent gallop here and that could bring his stamina into play. Wetherby runner-up Tidal Watch is now 0-14 over fences but Getawaytonewbay came with a wet sail to score at Stratford recently and Jemima P edged out Theatre Mix at Exeter before disappointing last time.
