Verdict

Robin's Command has looked in the handicapper's grip since returning from a break but drops down a grade for this. He may find HOTGROVE BOY too strong if the latter repeats the form he showed when only beaten a neck by Grey Life at Sedgefield three weeks ago. James Ewart's charge had beaten Gin Cobbler at the same track earlier. Civil Unrest will do well to follow up his Hexham victory off a 7lb higher mark but Claragh Native could figure given he beat Robin's Command at Perth in September on worse terms.
