Verdict

Robber Baron can take victory over Halland and Page Point. Once described as the best horse she trained since Best Mate, Robber Baron's career was almost brought to a close when he was injured at Cheltenham in 2002. He has not sparkled over chase fences since returning to the fold but it would not be a huge surprise if he were good enough here. Halland hasn't quite some of the expectations made of him since leaving Geoff Wragg's stable. The Alan King team are running well and if he can stay this far, there are obvious chances against modest opposition. Page Point hasn't shown a lot for Richard Guest. The horse does seem to be able to handle today's surface so the market is watched. Northern Shadows conversely has shown much more ability on a softer surface while Araglin, who returns from a short lay-off, could hit the places at decent odds. Plenty of doubts about the principals and Robber Baron is given one final chance to show us his true ability.
