      Verdict

      ROMANTICISM is out of a high-class multiple Grade 1 winner in the US and Sir Michael Stoute has a fine strike rate at the track. She could be up to landing this at the first time of asking. Rated 75, Benjamin Thomas came up short again when third at Wolverhampton last time while Castle Hill Cassie is another regularly placed in maiden races including at Catterick last time. Harwood is a likely improver though was only a length in front of Jessinamillion over 6f at Doncaster recently.
