    Verdict

    ROBUSTO has the profile of one typical of his yard as he steps up to middle-distances having shown little over 7f last year. He gets the vote in a weak contest with Sir Mark Prescott’s yard in top form. Graham has improved now handicapping and was fourth over track and trip last week while both Khal and Papa Ricco placed over 1m2f at Beverley last time without looking like winning. Absolute Queen is another upped in distance.
