The cracks in the form lines that link both Valiant Romeo and Willhewiz are starting to appear and although both colts have to be respected on what they have achieved so far, they do not look solid enough to wade into under 7lb penalties. A chance therefore is taken that Revenue can put his stamina-packed pedigree to the test and hold off his rivals on this first attempt for any of them at six furlongs.
