Verdict

A change of scenery has seen STARLIGHT ROMANCE return to form and she won over 7f here recently on only her second outing for Linda Stubbs’ yard. She’s upped 6lb but has won off higher marks in the past and looks worth another try over today’s longer trip. Delicate Kiss struggled from a high draw here last time but had finished in front of both Roman Spinner and Saikung when runner-up at Lingfield before that. She can figure while there was little between Bedtime Bella and Shamameya over 7f at Lingfield last month and the former has subsequently gone close at Southwell.
