ROBIN OF SHERWOOD has been in top form this season and, after a respectable fourth at Ffos Las, should benefit from the return to this sort of trip, so he's preferred to recent Lingfield winner Little Red Lion. Oski was in the process of running well when falling on debut for Fergal O'Brien so there could be more to come from him.
