MY ROMEO LIMA (3) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 20 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. In the right race and there is no reason he cannot get the major prize. BARNABY (4) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1m at this track (Dirt). STIRDATPOT (5) returned from a lay-off a month ago when he was in the firing line on the turn before being beaten 7 lengths into fourth over 1m1/2f at Keeneland. Fitter so expect a better run this time. LIAM THE BRAVE (1) ran below expectations last time at Keeneland (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths. Worth another chance.
