Race preview
Preference is for ROMAN DRAGON, who is drawn nicely in stall four and can offer a bold bid. Hugo Palmer's charge returns to the track after 50 days off where he was beaten just a length over C&D. Off the same mark, he can turn the form around with Count D'Orsay now 1lb better off. Last-time-out winner Spoof deserves respect off 2lb higher, while Paws For Thought also boasts solid claims.
