ROMANISED, who is unquestionably one of the best horses currently in training in Ireland, couldn’t have been any more impressive on his return to action as he made it back-to-back victories in the Group 2 Paddy Power Minstrel Stakes.

absence stretching back to September meant that he was allowed to go off
at 9/4, with the market headed by the Gladness Stakes winner, Lancaster House.
