    Verdict

    Fall Of Rome has gone up 5lb since a beaten favourite at Newmarket five weeks ago. He gets cheekpieces today but had less than a length to spare over LA PULGA at HQ earlier and Roger Charlton’s colt is 8lb better off. He needed the help of the stewards to get off the mark at Carlisle but looks a strong stayer over this trip. Thunder Legend could make things interesting having landed the odds at Hamilton with more to come now handicapping.
