Romford Race 2 - Welcome To Romford Stakes
ON THE PAYROLL (2) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (24.87) in an A2 at Romford. Solid record here winning two races. Can discover winning form. LOUGHMORE (1) showed blistering pace early from the rails draw and stuck on well despite missing the frame, finishing fourth over 400m Romford in 24.73. Has a strong record from box 1, including two wins. Worth following up. ANYTHING STRANGE (4) has missed the frame the last couple but was an A4 winner three back (24.33) at Romford over 400m. Well placed here and should do much better. GALLANT KING (6) will give backers a sight.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 3.5 lengths fourth (24.87) over 400m at Romford. Should prove hard to beat.

Form slipped last start when he finished last on February 20 over 400m at Romford behind Laughil Dave beaten 9 lengths (24.95) in an A2. Likely to struggle this time.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a sensational early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fifth (24.76) at Romford over 400m. Must be included.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished last in an A3 on February 21 over 400m at Romford behind Plains Drifter beaten 8 lengths (24.96). Didn't show up last start but give him another chance.
