Robinzal, Storm Chase and Solanich are the three to consider here, with preference for last time out winner Robinzal. Storm Chase was well backed to score at Lingfield and duly did so but was disappointing at Newcastle next time. A good second at Carlisle on his latest start suggests that his Newcastle run was just a blip and he is nicely treated and will go well. Solanich has been running consistently and hails from the in form Richard Hannon yard. He has finished placed on his latest starts at Lingfield but those have been on the Polytrack and it remains to be seen if that form can be translated on to the turf. Another yard in good heart is the Tim Easterby camp and Robinzal represents him here. He has been running well all year and lost his maiden tag in game fashion at Catterick in a big field last time. He will have gained confidence from that success and provided he can steer clear of any traffic problems in this big field, Robinzal gets the vote.
