ON TO VICTORY maintained his progression stepped up to this trip at Salisbury with a wide-margin win. He’ll have to try his hand in pattern race company if defying a penalty here but looks well up to the task. Maiden winner See Of Rome has more on his plate carrying 6lb extra but there might be more to come from Special Relation, raised 5lb for getting off the mark at Pontefract but impressive that day. Godolphin’s Cross Step has plenty of weight for what he’s achieved but is unexposed. So is The Grand Visir, though his Yarmouth win hasn’t worked out and he looks held by Cross Step on collateral form. Melting Dew has gone up a pound for finishing third at Carlisle while Sandown fourth Rosarno may have stamina issues.
