Formscan - FREDDY ROBINSON was a consistent performer on the level during 2024 and arrives here with fitness guaranteed after a spell over hurdles. His rider's 7lb allowance will certainly help in what appears to be a competitive event for the grade. Bashful's recent hurdles form gives him strong credentials, while others for the shortlist include Muhib, Rock Armour and Life On The Rocks.
