Several have a similar level of form though Looking At Roses appeared to have little excuse for a poor effort last time. Conquistador won a maiden race at Aqueduct in March but Positive Phil’s long losing run continues having returned a beaten favourite here recently. Handsome Lil Devil can figure in this grade but POPPY’S BOYS is also unexposed and gets another chance having failed to get a clear run in the homestretch on his latest start when finishing with a late flourish.
