Verdict

ROOM TO ROAM may be able to add to the fantastic recent of the Ger Lyons yard by scoring in this trappy contest. He's yet to score on turf but has posted two promising efforts so far this season over a longer trip than this. The drop back in distance is not a worry and the prospect of a decent surface is also in his favour. Handicap debutant Trevanna is one to note in the betting and could be capable of a big run while similar sentiments are true of Pincheck. Auckland is forgiven a poor run last time out goes on the shortlist along with Club Wexford.
