Robusto has run really well in 2 runs at Southwell this year and this switch to Wolverhampton might just bring out the best in him under Harry Vigors, who again claims 7lb. He'll surely be ridden forward and it should be a case of catch me if you can, although he's tough, so even if the catch him up, they'll need to scrap to go past him. He's been beaten by 2 classy enough types the last twice, Enemy, who is a top staying handicap type and Codiak, who's an unexposed middle distance horse with an all weather record of 2/3. Having a good bet at 13/2 ew 4pl, but 7/1 available here with 3 places.

Taking a small chance on Brian Meehan's unexposed filly, Lodge, who has run ok in winning a weak maiden and then running 2nd in a novice under a penalty. She ran ok on handicap debut, a 2l 5th at Wolverhampton stepping up to 7f for the first time, keeping on as if the trip suited. At 16/1 4 places, she is worth a speculative bet here in an open looking race.
