ROMEO MAGICO was highly impressive at Down Royal last time and, while this is a much tougher assignment, the way he jumped and travelled that day indicates that there's a bigger effort in him, so he gets the nod ahead of his reliable stablemate Its On The Line, who was just denied at Cheltenham last time. Time Leader, one position behind It's On The Line last month, is also worthy of plenty of respect.
