A winner twice between the flags, ROBIN OF SHERWOOD has had only four runs under Rules. He placed in a maiden hurdle here last summer and was second on his chasing bow at Ffos Las in January and wouldn’t need much more to take this. Giga White has the benefit of a 15lb weight-for-age allowance making his debut over fences but Southwell third Sea's Aria is 0-11 over the larger obstacles. The race-fit Cheltenam De Vaige may be best of the rest.
