LIBRA ROMANA has put a very poor run at Lingfield behind her with two staying on efforts over a mile at Brighton and can take this from the bottom of the handicap. Her Red Devil scored over the course and distance in July and has been narrowly beaten in all subsequent starts so has to be a threat under the excellent George Challoner. Musselburgh juvenile winner Neuf Des Coeurs has been inconsistent but would make the frame at her best while Royal Straight hasn't won for well over two years though most of his races have been over further.
