John Gosden has already been among the winners this season and his Robemaker will probably make a bold bid to defy top weight having won at Yarmouth in July and finished second in a couple of decent handicaps on good to soft ground at Goodwood and Haydock subsequently. He was only beaten a head by ORIENTAL SCOT in the second of those and has every chance on turning that form around on a pound better terms, though we're sticking with Willie Jarvis' charge to confirm running with Frankie on board and land this on his reappearance. Stage Attraction won at Chepstow and Sandown last summer but looks held on the form book, while Call To Reason may struggle back on turf. But Neutrafa is still at the right end of the handicap and was still improving in the autumn.
