Rome Imperial to march to victory

ROME IMPERIAL can strike first time for her new trainer Marco Botti in the Get Your Ladbrokes Daily Odds Boost Fillies’ Handicap at Wolverhampton.

The Newmarket trainer picked up the daughter of Siyouni for a mere 18,000 guineas at the Tattersalls December Sales.

She looks a bargain because she is already a winner, having taken a maiden at Windsor in

October.

Rome Imperial now tackles handicap company on a mark of 75. It could prove to be a lenient rating.

BODROY made a winning debut for John Butler on this course three weeks ago, and can repeat the trick in the Ladbrokes Watch Racing Online For Free Handicap.

Formerly trained by Nick Littmoden, the three-yearold colt got up in the dying strides to deny Roman Mist by a head over eight-and-ahalf furlongs.

An extra furlong seems certain to suit, while he should be able to handle a 5lb rise in the ratings.

A 5lb penalty can prove no hindrance to HECTOR’S HERE in the Play 4 To Win At Betway Handicap.

Ivan Furtado’s five-yearold was an emphatic winner over this course and distance last Monday, a performance for which the handicapper is likely to give him a hefty rise.

The Sam Allwood-trained

BITA SWEET SYMPHONY

has shown enough ability to suggest he can make his mark over jumps.

The eight-year-old can finally open his account in the Mansionbet Live Casino Cashback Handicap Hurdle at Carlisle despite failing to finish in the first three after seven appearances, one of those as joint favourite at Doncaster.
