        Verdict

        Nothing really leaps off the page in this so we’ll give a tentative vote to ROBIN DES THEATRE, who has won a point and placed in a bumper. Lady Tremaine has also won between the flags but that was back in 2019. Sandaroc had no chance against The Glancing Queen at Bangor last month but that run should have taught her plenty.
