Native Robin, progressive last season, made a promising return to action at Stratford but would have preferred softer ground. Poker School was hampered by faller Keep Moving at Exeter and unseated his rider. Both had every chance at the time and could figure here with clear rounds.

SAINTEMILION is still unexposed over fences and 2lb lower than when a beaten favourite here in April. He is 8lb better off with winner Enola Gay for six lengths and can turn the tables.
