HAPPY ROMANCE carries a penalty for winning a Group 3 at Salisbury but is a cut above these and remains well clear at the weights. Today’s going is a concern but she’ll take the beating if anywhere near her best. Mishal Star made a winning start in handicaps with a victory at Nottingham while Operatic defied a penalty at Kempton to land a double in novice company. Chocoya is another dual novice winner and missed an easier task at Lingfield yesterday while Ventura Diamond won in heavy going at Leicester last time. Kindred Spirit and Ghaaliya are unknown quantities at this level having both made winning debuts.
