      Verdict

      Only one was preferred to Antartica De Thaix on his hurdling debut at Wincanton but he made a terrible mistake at the third flight and gravity eventually dumped Nick Schofield on the turf. He'll have had plenty of schooling since and will be fancied to make amends but ROBINESSE's second to Jessber's Dream at Exeter has worked out well with the winner landing a Grade 2 by eight lengths at Sandown last week. Nothing else makes much appeal against the likely market leaders.
