Posh Emily won well last time, whilst Nearly A Breeze has been holding his form well; however it is DASHING ROMEO who gets the vote. Evan Williams has his horses running well and this five year old gelding showed some ability when trained by Dermot Weld over in Ireland. He has not been able to go close in two starts for this yard, however the cheek-piece and tongue-tie combo is tried for the first time and if the market speaks in his favour then he should run well. Posh Emily was successful just over three weeks ago at Taunton and with that maiden success under her belt she could run well, although a 9lb rise in the weights looks harsh. Nearly A Breeze ran well behind Parlesotho at Leicester in November, form which looks solid, whilst Camden Annie could be interesting if her jumping improves, although she was weakening when falling here last time. Not a strong race and a chance is taken on Dashing Romeo.
