ROMEO MIG (5) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (30.01) last time in an A4 at this track. Has a good record here including seven wins. Key runner on his best form. ALNWICK MEGAN (3) is a last start placegetter in A4 company, jumping from this trap and finishing a 4 length third over 480m at this track. Has a very honest record from this same draw, including a win and three minors. Expecting another bold showing. UNDER THE GUN (6) has been in great recent form scoring two on end, the latest an A5 by a head at this track over 480m (29.70). Rises another grade but expected to measure up. PATTERDALE MESSI (1) is heading the right way. In the minors two back with a narrow third then scored by a neck in an A5 last time at this track over 480m (29.45). Facing tougher but in form and not to be underestimated.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 4 lengths, last start in an A4 at this track over 480m (29.55). Consistent performer who is clearly the one to beat.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 480m. No easier here and likely to struggle.
