Verdict
Placed in his last three, CLONDAW ROBIN is overdue a first success over fences and, eased slightly in the weights, doesn’t appear to have much to beat in this. Episode is 0-13 in career starts but has placed at Fakenham and Leicester since going chasing so looks the danger. Pure Country stopped quickly on his chasing bow at Wetherby but is probably capable of better and is the least exposed of these.
