    In depth

    Verdict

    Rated 82, ROBBO should have the edge over these having improved with every start. He was only beaten a neck at Haydock last time, though Berkshire Nugget ran into trouble when sent off favourite over 7f here and drops down in trip. Activated failed to show any progress at Windsor last month and the newcomer Eye Of Dubai has already had a wind operation.
