Verdict
Several of these are old foes with previous course winner Red Stripes finding Mulzim too good over track and trip last week. The latter is penalised 5lb for that success having earlier finished a long way behind the runner-up YOUNG TIGER here and Tom Tate’s charge may be the one to side with today on that form. Robot Boy returned to action last month with a second in a higher grade sprint at the track and will be sharper for the outing but the remaining pair look up against it.
