Verdict

Robusto won over today’s trip at Salisbury with Papa Ricco well beaten but disappointed when favourite at Catterick last time. PHILOS looks a safer proposition as he landed a double on the all-weather with a recent victory over course and distance and an apprentice’s allowance negates a further rise in the weights. Mysterious Maestro steps up in distance while Surge and Bush Rose make their handicap debuts.
