Verdict

The Fast Company gelding ROOM TO ROAM was not winning out of turn when landing a 2m½f maiden hurdle on good ground at last weeks Bellewstown meeting. The 5lb penalty may not be enough to halt the five-year-olds progress here with Down Royal fourth Mon Storm, Our Brian and Coral Blue looking the best of the rest.
