In depth
Verdict
CHANCE THE ROBIN will likely prove a warm order having found one too good in the heavy going at Ayr on his debut under Rules when Bluebell Glen was well beaten. Knacker Trapper is preferred to Cave Hill but the newcomer Queen Of Hindsight may prove a bigger danger as she’s related to a couple of bumper winners.
