Romeo's Guardian

Palmer, who has sent out 67 winners already this season from his Cheshire base, has spoken positively about the horse's natural ability. The trainer likes the way Romeo's Guardian moves and is patient about his development, seeing promise in his daily work. For a young horse still finding his feet in competition, that kind of confidence from the yard matters — Palmer is not rushing him, but neither is he ready to give up on him. The step up to the all-weather surface, which Palmer mentioned as a likely next move, could prove the key to unlocking a win. Sometimes a change of surface and a fresh start is exactly what an improving three-year-old needs.
