The Wild Westerner made the frame on his hurdles debut at Market Rasen but was still beaten more than 20 lengths and this should chiefly concern Densworth and GITCHE GUMEE (NAP). Ben Pauling’s charge made it third-time lucky over timber at Newcastle but his likely market rival has improved with each run and is getting a valuable 7lb. Robynson may prove best of the rest but that’s not saying much.
