Verdict

The unraced ROMANTICISM hardly faces the most daunting of opposition on her racecourse debut with the reasonably exposed but consistent enough Benjamin Thomas and Castle Hill Cassie surely the only conceivable dangers. Sir Michael Stoute tends to farm such moderate maidens in the North, and this War Front filly is strongly fancied to make a winning debut.
