Local Present was just caught by Brother Scott over 2m4f at Hexham last month. Only 2lb higher, it would be no surprise if he went one better here against modest opposition but Cartmel runner-up Troubled looks a danger and The Purchaser didn't show his true form at Worcester last time. We'll take a chance on MR ROBINSON as he as at least shown he handles these fences, though he showed nothing in two runs over the summer. Adios Alonso would have a squeak on his best form but Lost In Newyork often flatters to deceive.
