Kiki Roberts improved on her Fairyhouse debut when third at Bellewstown but that was over a longer trip than this and STROMBERG, who is entered in Group 2 races in the coming weeks, will be a short price to build on his second at Leopardstown given his dam has produced winners with her first two foals to race. Romford ran green but made late headway when sixth at Navan in May and looks the pick of the remainder given he’s been given plenty of time to mature.
