Flying Romance is turned out quickly under a 6lb penalty for a comfortable Bath success earlier in the week and looks sure to give another good account over a trip that should suit. Welsh Dream has enjoyed a successful campaign on the all-weather during the winter winning twice and failed to last home over two miles and a furlong at Pontefract last month. Pat haslam's charge has since advertised his well being with a narrow defeat over hurdles at Kelso. Copplestone comes here on the back of a comfortable 12f Newcastle win (now 6lb higher) while Property Zone should appreciate the step up in trip and appears fairly treated with the services of a useful claimer on board.
