Hilbre Island runs here in preference to the maiden and this half-brother to the useful Date, would not have to be anything out of the ordinary to land this. Rocinante looks to have too much on his plate here, while Valiant Romeo has something to prove after a poor effort at Nottingham. This can go the way of Mister Links, who proved he can handle conditions, when scoring at Kempton.
