ROME was placed yet again when only beaten a short-head over track and trip last month. Dropping down a grade for this, Gary Moore's charge can deservedly get his head in front. Lawmans Thunder moves in the opposite direction as he only won a Class 6 event over course and distance last time, though Mickael Barzalona's presence suggests further progress is expected. Officer In Command got nowhere near the winner at Lingfield recently, despite finishing second, while Alpine Mist ran poorly at Bath on Monday having made the frame before that. Steelriver looks best of the rest off his current mark.
