Nottingham winner Roman Dynasty had a favourites chance at Yarmouth yesterday and it could pay to stick with MARSH BENHAM. The latter bids for a hat-trick having landed the odds with the minimum of fuss at Brighton and Serena Brotherton does the steering. Fern O’Brien teamed-up with Alice Haynes to win this last year but Goldsmith and Brunel Charm finished down the field in the same race at Chelmsford in April while Luna Magic’s earlier win at Chepstow came over a longer trip and Hoots Toots is preferred.
