Verdict

None of the three chasing newcomers in this make much appeal, even though those with experience haven’t shown a great deal so far. DONT BE ROBIN won over a similar trip at Chepstow in April. He couldn’t follow up off this mark at Warwick but clearly stays well so gets the nod on that score. Uallrightharry ground out a victory at Fontwell in the spring and looks the danger with Norse Legend hard to predict. Balkinstown is preferred to Hit The Highway of the others.
