Alexandra Romanov⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West| OR: 103

3/1

Regressive in bumpers but showed aptitude for hurdling alongside some waywardness after 11 months off when third in small-field affair at Huntingdon (19.6f) in October. Matched that form when second over C&D last week but this is a deeper race.

Form: 20/0-32

Forecasts

Maclaine (11/8), Alexandra Romanov (3/1), Pedley Wood (3/1), Delta Run (4/1), Gold In Doha (11/2), Trevor's Lad (12/1), Pleasure Garden (66/1), Holkham Hall (125/1), Maire's Dream (150/1)

MACLAINE sets the clear standard on his hurdles efforts at Newbury last winter, and while his stable has been pretty quiet this season, he's still the most persuasive option. Pedley Wood fetched £75,000 after his point win so he commands serious respect, as does bumper-winner Delta Run.
