ROBIN WILL was beaten at long odds-on at Exeter last time having won there and at Leicester previously. He's a bit of a tricky customer and could be risky proposition here at a short price but is still the one to beat ahead of 13-year-old Vic Venturi, though the latter showed he was no back number when second at Newbury in March. Hurricane Carter is best watched and Cool Mission has questions to answer having been pulled up on his reappearance at Bangor while Radetsky March has been pulled up twice since winning at Lingfield and Fontwell.
