Verdict

ALLROADSLEADTOROME didn't appear to be in love with heavy ground on his racecourse debut at Naas and the son of Golden Horn has the potential to leave that effort behind with a sounder surface likely to suit better. Datstheholyallofit stepped forward from her debut at Sedgefield when showing a bit more there last time, and she could have more to offer. Others to note are Office Banter and Pony Express.

Top Tip: Allroadsleadtorome (1)
Watch out for: Datstheholyallofit (7)

Datstheholyallofit has run to a similar level in both starts and should again be thereabouts but it's ALLROADSLEADTOROME who earns a tentative vote. He's still an entire and should find this easier than the Naas bumper he contested on debut. That came on heavy ground and the better surface here is in his favour. Western Games should leave a poor debut behind if settling better.
