    Verdict

    Castle Robin won at Exeter before disappointing at Wetherby but reportedly lost his left fore and hind shoes. No Anxiety returned a beaten favourite at Hereford having scored at the same track earlier and Tommie Beau is preferred after going close the last twice though is upped in class today. But RAPPER (NAP) ran well in this grade at Ascot on only his second outing over fences and a bold bid is expected from Henry Daly’s charge with a conditional taking 5lb off his back.
