BIG ROBIN won her first start since having wind surgery last year when scoring at Taunton recently. Nicky Henderson’s filly may well defy a penalty with any further progress. Potters Sapphire went close at Market Rasen last time and steps up in trip today along with Oscars Little Rose, who ran well for third in testing ground at Lingfield. Both are preferred to Belle Empress while lltellmema has joined Suzy Smith having won an Irish point-to-point earlier in the year and could prove best of the rest.
