Verdict
Aloha, Balatina and Hannahs Turn were all well beaten in the same race that ROME finished third in at Kempton last month. Sir Henry Cecil's colt will appreciate today's extra distance and can open his account. Absolutely Right has every chance as she showed a big improvement to finish third on her latest outing and makes more appeal than Emerging, beaten over eight lengths when placed at Kempton on his debut. Newcomer Testa Rossa is a half-brother to the decent Foodbroker Fancy and makes more appeal than Carneades of the others.
