In depth

Verdict

KNOCKROBIN certainly wasn’t winning out of turn at Bangor and sets a decent standard here, despite his penalty. Just Bobby has been placed in both previous starts here but was beaten a distance when third last time. Glittering Love has been making hay in point-to-points but ran four times under Rules last year and was well beaten on each occasion so has a bit to prove. Trust Me I'm A Dr finally complete a race at Market Rasen last month but is unlikely to be improving at the age of nine.
