Mister Robbo took a huge step forward when scoring over this trip at Taunton in November. Treacys Jim probably has each-way claims while Dubai Guest has a first and second to his name around here but is still creeping up the handicap. LUCKY LARA ran better than expected on her chasing bow at Taunton and could be the value in this if learning from that experience.
