In depth

Verdict

Justcallmepete has won all four outings since switching to blinkers including a course and distance hat-trick. He’s upped a further 4lb and Politics re-opposes on much better terms for an earlier defeat. Alafdhal’s winning run came to an end when second here and he’s 3lb higher while Murbih has been in good form over the minimum trip. The unexposed SIR ROBIN will need to step up on a reappearance third at Newcastle but that looks a strong possibility and he gets the vote with Karl Burke’s yard among the winners lately.
