Verdict
Paso Doble won here in May and landed the odds eased in grade at Taunton earlier this month but has to give 3lb to BROOMFIELD BURG (NAP), who travelled strongly in a handicap at Cheltenham latest and just failed to give the more-experienced Lively Citizen 18lb. Corrigeen Rock only won a Kelso maiden in October and had his limitations exposed next time at Ayr. Robelli was second to an odds-on favourite at Warwick and has scope but shapes as though he’ll need more of a stamina test than he’ll get here.
