    Verdict

    ROBIN DES FORET has had four starts on good ground so today's conditions should prove ideal. He's taking a huge step- p in trip from his easy victory over the minimum at Tipperary but his pedigree suggests he'll have no problems. Fly Rory Fly battled on strongly to score over 2m6f at Downpatrick last week but will need more here as will Hidden Charmer, though the latter's victory here last month could get a boost from runner-up Great Khan earlier. Lambs Lane dead-heated in a bumper here last month but was a 100/1 chance on his hurdling debut at Clonmel in March.
