Verdict

TWILIGHT ROMANCE finished third at Haydock on his debut and the runner-up has boosted the form subsequently. John Quinn’s charge is preferred to We Never Stop, who placed over track and trip last month and should also be in the mix. Land Lover ran well without threatening to win in a conditions race at Epsom last time while Silent Move cost 200,000gns as a yearling and Indicate’s dam won as a two-year-old.
