Verdict
SHINING ROMEO has confirmed ability at this trip and his last two runs have delivered strong performances over hurdles. If he can translate that improvement to the Flat, he'll be in the mix and the booking of De Sousa is an added bonus. Infiniti has progressed on each run since joining her current yard and has clearly relished being significantly upped in trip. Jane Elliott steered her to a cosy success the last day and the combination has every chance if producing the same level now returned to Turf. The Lock Master is rated a stone lower on grass compared to the all-weather but is respected all the same, along with Staplehurst and Rock Palm. The latter is especially interesting as Jim Crowley has been booked on this first start for Laura Mongan.
