Romford Bags Race 10 - Happy Birthday Poppy Stakes
PRELUDE (6) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by a nose at this track in a handy 25.17 beating Old Fort Monaco. Can make it back-to-back wins. KINGSROAD ROCKET (4) showed good early speed and led throughout to score his maiden two back then finished fourth last start and beaten 5 lengths at this track over 400m (25.33). Returns to the course where he won his maiden. Rates a winning chance on best. TEA LEAF THOR (5) had trap 5 and was game in defeat when only 1.3 lengths from Odas Mae Brown in second (25.01) at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. NOREASON JESS (3) was in the money last start from this box and should feature again.

Got back early in the race last start when fifth over 400m at this track. Before that won by a neck at this track (25.25) beating Wine It Friday in an A11 on July 8. Will be tested in this company.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 400m at this track. Heading in the right direction and well placed to be very competitive.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by a head in 24.76. Last start finished 4th in an A10 on July 18 over 400m at this track behind Seomra Finn beaten 5 lengths (25.33). Well placed here and gets chance to bounce back.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an A10 at this track over 400m (25.01). In solid form and can win without surprising.

Good effort after taking an early lead to score in an A11 by nose at this track over 400m (25.17). Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
