ROBIN'S COMMAND has looked a much-improved performer over fences this term and two Kelso victories have seen the assessor react by imposing a 21lb rise. However, he looks best followed until beaten. Morning Time was better last time and operates off an 8lb lower mark than over timber but Have You Had Yours and Sambelucky look bigger threats. There was only a head between the pair last time, though revised weights would indicate that positions will be reversed here even though Jane Walton's inmate has progressed really well of late.
