Romping Home is taken to account for Lina Gram and Aintnonancy. Romping Home finished fifth in a very valuable bumper at Newbury on her debut and it was clear from the betting that this might not have been anticipated. The presence of Mick Fitzgerald at the track suggests that connections expect more. Lina Gram has often been well backed but punters have had their fingers burnt. This is a weaker event on paper but there is little doubt that she is now exposed. Aintnonancy ran well for a long way in a Towcester bumper that has yielded a couple of winners so she should be monitored in the market. Terimai was unruly on the way to post ahead of her previous start but showed enough in the race to suggest she was worth persevering with. Simple Gifts makes a racecourse debut and has to be watched in the market for clues. Romping Home looks a mare with a future and is taken to build upon her first racecourse start.
