Roman Gal^p1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Ben Coen⁽⁷⁾| T: M Halford| OR: 59

15-race maiden on the Flat and finished down the field on the AW at Dundalk in December before pulling up in a Naas claimer over 1m earlier this month. Hard to construct much of a case for the mare.

7/1

Some promise in most recent handicap at Gowran when a 4L seventh of 15 and running Stormy Air to 1¾L at Cork earlier this month. Any market move on AW debut should be monitored.

C&D winner on last visit here in January GUANABARA BAY has slipped 5lb below last winning mark and appears to have been attractively placed to land the spoils here from fellow C&D winner Bouquet Garni and the genuine and tough C&D winner Seanie, who is now 7lb below last winning mark.
