Mr Robinson beat WADDINGTOWN HERO at Uttoxeter in May on worse terms but was pulled up for the third time in five outings at Stratford last month whereas the latter showed improved form to score at Ffos Las last time. Andy Turnell's charge has had a short break since but could be capable of going on to better things and makes more appeal than last month's Worcester scorer Etania and the one-paced Jackthejourneyman. According To Sarah was more like her old self at Worcester last time and has dropped a couple of pounds since so can't be ignored.
