NOREASON JESS (3) hit the ground running with a scorching early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a nose second over 400m at Romford, clocking 24.68. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Winning claims. PHARIS CASHOUT (1) stalked the lead and fought on well to finish 9 lengths away in second (25.09) at Romford in an A11 over 400m. Leading player again. BLACKROSE BOND (5) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start fifth (25.44) at Romford. Solid record here winning six races. Cannot be taken lightly. FOUR UNDER PAR (2) looks a chance coming off a ten weeks layoff.
