El Greco can roar to success at Romford

It was an impressive display, and Zeeoneandonly can be forgiven her last run in this grade when completely fluffing the start and getting baulked before finishing fourth.

She had previously clocked a decent sectional of 3.78 and, with Trap 2 Bibbys Legend cutting in at the first bend, a repeat can see her steer a straight course down the middle for a trap-to-line victory.

Knockboy Wing fancied to fly home

T5 Knockboy Wing has a teriffic strike rate at the track and can further enhance it with victory in the 400m inter-track contest (21:56).

The son of Scolari Me Daddy has won nine of his 23 starts at the venue and has a near 33 per cent strike rate when wearing the orange jacket.

Although Knockboy Wing has been running over 575m of late, the drop back in trip will hold no fears and he has produced sectionals of 3.74 and 3.76 in his last two successes over it.

Those splits read very well in the make-up of this race and, if turning in front, Knockboy is going to be incredibly tough to peg back given his staying power.

Special Trixie ticks plenty of boxes

T6 Special Trixie is a smart sort when timing it right at the lids and can get the better of an early tussle with kennelmate Black Taranis to land the other A1 on the card (22:11).

Ernie Gaskin’s bitch is 10 from 34 in the stripes and scored in good style two starts back, when quickly away and producing a 3.70 sectional to make all and beat Wednesday Adams by 2 3/4 lengths.

She also showed plenty of dash next time up, before finishing third, and has since been given a trial at Crayford.

That may well have sharpened her up and, if Special Trixie can turn in front of Taranis in Trap 5, she is going to take plenty of catching.
