Formscan By Alan Magee - ROMANCE (3) is progressing well and can add to a Down Royal victory earlier this month. The selection showed a smart turn of foot coming from off the pace to score over this trip and again finished well off a revised mark when runner-up at Listowel on Tuesday, with Margot Mae over three lengths back in fifth. Exchange Student beat Luca Brillante (won since) over course and distance last month and, if settling better, should again play a prominent role. Two Brigade has no stamina concerns having stayed on well at Naas last time and Reese Holohan again takes the mount.
