Verdict
There are several with decent claims in this including Lucky Robin, who won over hurdles at Sedgefield last month before finishing second over fences on the same track. Kensington Art wasn’t disgraced in a handicap at Kelso after winning a maiden at Hexham and Edinburgh Castle will probably find a small race before winter ground becomes prevalent. Sorbet has plenty to find with YAUTHYM on Warwick running and the latter can come good again on this sharp track.
