Verdict
Group Leader drops into this grade for the first time and wouldn't be far away if fully wound-up for his first run since March but it's difficult to look beyond JUST ROB in this. Tony McCoy partnered Ian Williams' six-year-old to a comfortable success in a Market Rasen claimer earlier this month and the champ is on board again today. Goodwood Starlight won at Sedgefield in May and is another dropped into a seller for the first time. He has claims with his stable going well with Sally's Idea and Morocchius probably the pick of the remainder.
