If money talks, then Robbin'hannon is surely going to be hard to beat. He cost his connections £110,000 after winning a point-to-point in Ireland and starts his hurdling career at a very realistic level. He is certainly worth a check in the betting and appeals as a long-term prospect. However, there could also be profit to be made in giving FORTIFIED BAY another chance to get off the mark. He at least has experience of racing over timber and is forwarded as a value option. Oscars Boss also makes appeal on the pick of his form up to press and edges a verdict over Burst Ya Bubble as the best of the rest.
