Verdict

Romanor goes well here and is back on a winning mark while another course winner, Investment Manager should handle the drop back in trip. With the cheekpieces back on, DAN’S CHOSEN stayed on too strongly for Glajou here just over three weeks ago and still looks well treated though it’s probably only a matter of time before Bagheera Ginge wins over fences.
