Verdict
Captain George is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and he's just 2lb higher than when completing a double on the track a couple of weeks ago. Robben, who was just half-a-length behind last time, must have a realistic chance of reversing the form though he's now had 27 starts without winning. Toboggan's Gift has only won once and that was in a seller at Southwell but EURATO gained his first all-weather victory when stepping up to around this trip at Chelmford a month ago and Luke Morris can steer him to another victory.
