Third in last month's Supreme, a race which certainly looked up to standard, ROMEO COOLIO is the standout on form and he can record a second Grade 1 success. The fly in the ointment could be the improving Tripoli Flyer who arrives on the back of a hat-trick and could be fresher than some of his rivals having bypassed the Cheltenham Festival. Fifth in the Supreme, Salvator Mundi is consistent, and he can fill the frame.
