Verdict
Robin Of Sherwood, who beat an in-form rival over 3m here 10 days ago, bids for a hat-trick of course victories under a penalty. He shouldn’t be far away again while Sabbathical is back over his best trip after a second over 2m in a hurdle at Bangor, though didn’t show much on his fencing bow. Lamanver Bel Ami makes his chasing debut having come good over hurdles at Chepstow last month. He remains unexposed while Little Red Lion ended the last campaign with a win over the smaller obstacles at Huntingdon and is another with scope. DON HERBAGER was returning from a long absence when only beaten half-a-length at Lingfield last week and, providing he’s recovered from those exertions, Venetia Williams’ charge could go one better here racing off the same mark.
