ROBIN OF SHERWOOD possibly didn’t last home over the extra quarter-mile here last month and is worth another chance with cheekpieces added. On Call is 0-9 under Rules but led for a long way at Newbury earlier this month and has place claims again. Landofsmiles is another still seeking a first victory but he’s gone close on a few occasions. Marble Moon has won three times over fences but not for 18 months, though is 14lb lower now than when last successful.
