Verdict
Tilsworth Micky never figured over track and trip before beating Arizona Snow at Chelmsford. But the latter has won here before and may well reverse running while Pancake Day also has a shout now back on a winning mark. Spowarticus could bounce back at anytime but Bonjour Steve has yet to win on the all-weather in 11 attempts. TREATY OF ROME was having his first start for over a year when fading in the closing stages over 7f here during the week. This shorter trip should suit on that evidence and he gets the nod.
