ROMANOR’s run at Warwick should have blown away a few cobwebs and Seamus Mullins’ nine-year-old likes it here. Across The Line is also a previous course winner and he’s been knocking on the door again lately but Begin The Luck may have been a lucky winner at Southwell 10 days ago. Pawpaw beat a subsequent winner at Fontwell last month but is 9lb higher now.
