The Bog Bank had a few of these behind when fourth to the in-form Leclerc earlier this month but is looking a few pounds high. Delta Romeo is 0-10 but hasn't been beaten far in any of his last four starts over the track and trip. He holds HAVANA PEARL on his latest start but Michael Halford's filly got no sort of run and can gain compensation. Knocknakilla is 0-18 and was well beaten in his only start here but Maccliff was returning from a break when fourth here last month and has won twice on the track.
