Verdict
Despite being slightly better off at the weights, it’s difficult to see Dont Be Robin reversing last month’s course running with QUEEN OF THE COURT, who has since finished third at Huntingdon where she didn’t really get the run of the race. Doyannie was runner-up at Exeter having only her second start over fences while Fantomas is almost certainly capable of better than he showed at Wincanton, where he was very novicey at times.
