This really revolves around Robbing The Prey, who is rated far superior to the field, but has been badly out of sorts over fences. On that evidence, it is risky taking what could be a short price about a revival from him, in what is admittedly not a strong race. There are others of interest and after a decent effort last time, the suggestion is HIGHLAND BOBBY, who at least arrives in form. Honourary Gift could do better this time.
