Robinshill is well treated compared to his chase rating but has been out of sorts. Melchior King only won a maiden over course and distance last month and will need more as Totterdown takes no prisoners and has been taking on better company. Stowaway Magic could figure if wind surgery has had the desired effect but HIGHEST SUN looks ready to open his account for Colin Tizzard. He got outpaced by The Twisler on quicker going at Wincanton last month but still holds Casa Tall and Higgs on that run. Choix Des Armes may be best watched on his first run since May.
