In depth

Verdict

Not a lot of form to go on here. Master of Win finished a close second over course and distance on debut but the winner of that race was subsequently well beaten while Barford ran respectably at Wetherby and is likely to come on for the outing, but preference is for RIVAS ROB ROY. He unseated his rider on his racecourse debut but put that effort behind him with a solid effort at Brighton, staying on stoutly over 6f and is likely to appreciate this step up in trip. Bathsheba Bay looks the pick of the newcomers and can make the frame.
