Verdict
DONT BE ROBIN was quietly fancied at Ludlow on his chasing bow. He never got involved but a good run from Quantum Of Solace in the previous race would enhance his claims and he’ll know more today. Connections appear to be struggling to find Waikiki Waves’ best trip but he has a chance if back in form and a case can also be made for Chasma. Bally Lagan is a past course and distance winner but hasn’t shown any worthwhile form this season and The Captain looks beatable again off his current mark.
