Rob Robin readily saw off the three-year-old Kenyan here last month but has been raised 9lb for his efforts. If JEBS GAMBLE improves again on his second at Londonia at Fontwell in May he is potentially much better than these so the top weight gets the nod. Ochos Rios only found the top-class Defi Du Seuil too good at Ffos Las at this time last year so has to be a danger while Dizzey Heights has shown some ability, though has yet to win a race of any description.
