Race Summary: ROBUSTO didn’t show much in 3 quick runs last summer but appeals as the type to leave that form well behind now handicapping given his connections. Papa Ricco will be suited by this longer trip so should have more to offer in handicaps, while Khal was rather unlucky to bump into a subsequent winner at Beverley.
