In depth
Verdict
After dropping down the weights Master Robbie came good at Newmarket last time and can follow up at the expense of Dame de Noche and True Night. Mick Channon's gelding was on his lowest mark since last October and took full advantage beating Obrigado by a comfortable half a length. Now he has hit form he could be worth following for his next couple of outings. Dame de Noche put up her best performance for some time when finishing third behind Enchanted in a valuable race at Ascot last time, another bold run is expected. True Night could be the pick of the Dandy Nicholls pair. His second behind Prince Aaron at Kempton last time was a decent effort and he will be difficult to keep out of the frame. Of the others Bandit Queen should be spot on after a couple of outings, but now he has remembered how to win Master Robbie looks the one to be on.
