LUCKY ROBIN (NAP) is in such good form that he’s impossible to oppose here having only been raised 4lb for a first win over fences at Sedgefield. Double Court has also been in terrific form but he’ll need to defy a 10lb rise to complete the four-timer. Go West Young Man was last of three finishers when beaten 20 lengths here earlier in the month while Le Frank is having a first outing since May. Instingtive and Thepensionfund also look up against it.
