Verdict
KING ROBERT was only beaten a neck at Lingfield earlier in the week and Charlie Wallis’ charge can go one better racing off the same mark. Becker also has a recent run under his belt having won at Wolverhampton in December while Coronation Cottage beat Aquadabra when scoring at the same track in October. Invincible Larne won at Yarmouth last summer but remains 7lb higher but Big Lachie is back on a winning mark and went close over 6f in March.
