Verdict

THE RESDEV ROMAN confirmed her initial promise following a 3-month layoff when scoring with a bit in hand at Ripon (5f) 3 weeks ago and she firmly appeals as the type to go on improving now tackling nurseries. This is competitive, though, with hat-trick seeking Space Dreamer and Aura of Melania just 2 potential dangers.

1	Space Traveller filly who is improving quickly, building on her breakthrough Brighton maiden victory when following up in a Bath nursery (5f) 8 days ago. Still looked green then and this stiffer track promises to play to her strengths. Better to come. 2nd Pick 1 Space Dreamer (Ire) Jockey: Harry Vigors Trainer: Ollie Sangster J: Harry Vigors T: Ollie Sangster	100	-	-	-	29%

7	Has taken her form up a notch following the drop back to sprinting, posting a good second in a first-time tongue strap in nursery at Catterick (6f) 12 days ago. This looks a sterner assignment, though she's another who cannot be discounted. 3rd Pick 7 Aura Of Melania Jockey: Mark Winn Trainer: Roger Fell J: Mark Winn T: Roger Fell	98	-	-	-	15%
