TREATY OF ROME (7) wasn't far away on debut last start over 6f at this track (Dirt), finishing third and beaten 5.5 lengths. Open to improvement and looks a serious contender. A BOURBON FOR TOBY (2) will find this a little easier than his third on debut four weeks ago, beaten 4 lengths at the end of 6½f at this track (Dirt). Has plenty of upside so he should be in the finish again. SNOOKIE BEAR (3) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished fourth at his last appearance over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf) on November 10. Worth including in this suitable contest. NO MERLOT (6) could only manage to finish sixth, beaten 7 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf). Worth plenty of thought.
