In depth
Verdict
ROBOT BOY (NAP) made a brave attempt to defy a 6lb rise for winning at Wolverhampton when third at Lingfield last time. The front-runner may well adopt the same tactics here and hold off the likes of Watchable. The latter’s losing run stretches back to 2014 now and both previous wins came over 6f. Southern Belle has her first start since September and stablemate Just Us Two is upped in class today though A Momentofmadness beat Just That Lord in this grade at Windsor last year and could go well on his reappearance under Silvestre De Sousa.
