We saidWon at 11/1
THE RESDEV ROMAN 9/1
THE RESDEV ROMAN at 9/1, Michael & David Easterby and Joanna Mason, is the one I make it. He handles the ground, with a win from 1 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
DOWMAN rates higher on our figures but is passed over on the ground — never run on soft or heavy in 7 starts — and today is soft.
The dangers are CHIEF MINISTER at 9/2 (went close off this mark) and DEFIANT DREAM at 14/1 (went close off this mark).
Non-runners: Ponte Carlo.
Each-way is the way in at 9/1, 3 places at 1/5.
