        Verdict

        REDREDROBIN was beaten off her new mark last time when only fifth of six at Sandown and it may be that the handicapper has her measure after the mare's three sprint successes this season. However, she's equally at home over this longer trip and is given the chance to bounce back to winning ways as she's such a solid and reliable mare. Marsh Benham is 3-14 on the grass and this looks a less demanding assignment that his latest outing at Sandown last weekend when a fair fourth in a competitive amateur riders' handicap. A cosy Brighton scorer previously, a strong performance should be forthcoming. Harb hasn't made the frame of late but equally has not been beaten far and is shortlisted along with Dulcet Sound, for whom Joe Fanning is an interesting booking for Brett Johnson.
