Robert The Painter has been competing in better company but usually comes up short. The less-exposed BROMYARD also drops in class after finishing runner-up at Chelmsford and he makes more appeal with further progress expected here. Presumido was narrowly beaten over track and trip in this grade last time when ahead of Franco's Secret and should also go well while Stosur is back on a winning mark and looks best of the rest.
