Romeo's Bond^p1²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Reed| T: M F Harris

3/1

Half-brother to useful hurdler Stimulating Song. Modest maiden on Flat though was well held last time. Now hurdling and represents yard in terrific form. Cheekpieces fitted.

Form:

I'm The Diva

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: David Noonan| T: Nick Williams

9/4

Network filly. Dam French 2¼m hurdle winner, successful also on Flat. Starts out in a very modest race so has to be of interest.

Form:

Forecasts

I'm The Diva (9/4), Romeo's Bond (3/1), Christopher Clive (7/2), Beat The Storm (8/1), Afternoon Tea (17/2), Allset (12/1), Girandole (20/1), Prince Of Bad Lins (33/1)

Little worthwhile form to go on so I'M THE DIVA, representing an in-form yard, could easily be up to the task on debut in receipt of weight. Romeo's Bond is a half-brother to Stimulating Song, a useful hurdler for the same connections, so he could easily up his game switched to this code.
