Victoriano won over 1m6f at Redcar last month and wasn’t beat far at Bath next time. If he handles conditions, he shouldn’t be far away again and is preferred to stablemate Alpasu. It would be no surprise to see Platform Nineteen improve markedly for the big step up in trip and switch to handicap company while Robeam has placed a couple of times this year and doesn’t have much to find with Victoriano on Redcar running. ANYONECANHAVEITALL has been struggling to find an extra gear over 1m6f so a first run over 2m should suit, even though he doesn’t have a stayer’s pedigree. The Nathaniel gelding looks the pick of the two Johnston runners on jockey bookings.
