OROMO has been disappointing on the whole but his only victory to date came over course and distance in April and an experienced amateur has been booked today. Mrs Davies could be interesting and Cape Hideaway and Dance Of Fire both attracted market support last time. Oceanus is relatively unexposed over hurdles and was third last month at Cartmel so looks the pick of the remainder alongside Ted Walsh’s raider Major Fawcett.
