Big Rob has all ticks in the right boxes and he is taken to score at the main expense of Almaydan and Mister Mustard. The selection hails from the in-form Brendan Powell yard and he looked like one to keep on the right side of when he defied a hike in the weights to win in convincing fashion at Wetherby last time when beating Caribbean Cove. He is improving all the time and it will be a surprise if he can¿t see off his rivals here. Almaydan is also quite useful and he won well when beating Indien Royal last time. However, he is vulnerable to a more progressive rival and that is precisely what he faces here in the form of our selection. Mister Mustard ran okay behind Roofing Spirit last time but he did not the most fluent jumper that day and he still looks to have plenty to learn in that respect. The rest will have to improve to trouble the principles and for the winner we return to Big Rob.
