The veteran Native Robin is a five-times winner around here and it's only just over a year since he completed a course and distance hat-trick from much higher marks so he may not be finished yet. Fanzio has changed trainers since scrambling home from 4lb lower at Taunton but Lazy Sunday has been impressive in completing a hat-trick and though 9lb higher for her victory at Ffos Las should go well again. Winning hurdler Triple Trade has failed to finish in four of his six runs over fences but ran well in the other two though the vote goes to MONGOL EMPEROR, who was very impressive when well supported at Doncaster.
