TOMORROW MYSTERY won a conditionals’ race at Newbury a week ago and escapes a penalty. She’s likely to start a short price looking to take advantage of the favourable terms and can go in again. Robinshill made a winning reappearance at Ludlow last month and that looks stronger form than Thahab Ifraj’s victory at Wincanton. The latter still finished ahead of Shiroccan Roll with previous dual winner Twin Star failing to complete while Olympic Honour drops back down in class and is preferred to the struggling Speredek.
