Verdict
Robiola showed promise in bumpers but didn’t look an easy ride last time at Doncaster. BLACKCAUSEWAY has been looking a bit one-paced so a step up in trip might aid his cause and he gets the nod ahead of Irish import Boreen Boy and Couldbeaweapon, who both need to up their game. Chestnut Pete has been off the track for a very long time.
