        Verdict

        Romansh had some excellent form with Thomas Albertrani in the USA and has two Grade 3's on Dirt at Aqueduct to his credit. He was expected to go well here last week but stumbled at the start and never recovered. After landing a handicap last month, Layl just failed to defy a 7lb rise in the weights last week and though put up another 3lb has to be considered with his lowly weight. Filfil won two minor handicaps then just failed to complete a hat-trick in a better grade contest last month. He looks certain to go well while USA import Yard Line may prove best of Charlie Appleby's trio as he looks a Dirt specialist. HAATHEQ is the class-act of the race having been competing well at Group 2 level this year. His second place behind Tamarkuz in a handicap was also a fine effort and he's taken to defy his big weight.
