        Verdict

        Robinson Cruso sets the standard in this maiden but after a poor first run back we turn to KIELDER, after an encouraging debut, while King Of Windsor has every chance if fit and ready. With family success in the USA the selection showed he might have inherited some of that ability when only just denied a debut win. He finished ahead of a subsequent winner that day so he looks set for a big run. Robinson Cruso showedability as a juvenile but ran well below par on his first run this term. There could be valid excuses for that performance but we'll take a watching brief in regards to him this time. King Of Windsor doesn't have to find much on the ratings to get the better of the one we've just mentioned but we wait to see if he's trained on while Feel The Heat was promising on his first outing and should build on that. A tough end to the day this but Kielder can kick on after a nice debut.
