can enjoy a confidence booster down in class.
ULTRAMARINE (12.15) can just about shade a competitive opener for skilled trainer David Evans. The gelding stayed seven furlongs well when gamely defeating The Caltonian at Wolverhampton.
The five-year-old continued his rise with a far more comfortable defeat of Bowood at Kempton. The gelding was then only denied a hat-trick by the useful Love De Vega at Chelmsford last time.
The son of Zoffany should still be in peak form so he can continue his trainers’ fine run.
ROMAN EMPEROR (12.50) can conquer his rivals for John Ryan in the BetMGM Handicap. The gelding looked promising when third to Son on debut in a typically hot Newbury novice.
He then showed a real liking for the all-weather when second to Mrs Morrell at Chelmsford.
The sprinter was rewarded for those efforts when hammering Artistic Mission at Southwell.
The three-year-old looks a sure-fire improver in this sphere so he can make a winning debut.
RAINTOWN (1.25) can pour it on for Stan Moore in the BetUK Acca-Fenwa Handicap.
The gelding rattled off an impressive hat-trick on the allweather at the tail end of 2022.
However, he couldn’t come close to that level of form switched to summer Turf.
The grey showed signs of a revival when second to Havanazam at Wolverhampton.
The four-year-old likes this venue so he can resume winning ways off an attractive mark.
