has found his niche as a 5f performer and improved another chunk to follow up from last time in dominant fashion; close up, tanked along, led halfway, made rest, impressive; unlikely another hike in the weights will stop him going close next time, potentially better than a handicapper if he can keep up the good work.

strictly speaking failed to build on promise of last run, though it counts for something that he beat plenty more than beat him - having been one of the first to have a crack at the winner - and he's potentially too well handicapped to write off completely; handy, effort 2f out, not quicken.

seemed to find this top-end handicap a bit of a shock to the system from a much higher mark (carrying 6-lb penalty) but should learn from the experience and remains one to be positive about in general, given the strides he's made already for this yard; mid-division, ridden 2f out, not quicken.

An upwardly-mobile profile so often counts for plenty in these good-quality northern sprint handicaps and Robot Boy proved the point emphatically in demolishing some old favourites who've mostly done their improving; the pace was good but nothing threatened to land a blow on the winner from halfway, those held up never really in the hunt. ROBOT BOY (IRE) has found his niche as a 5f performer and improved another chunk to follow up from last time in dominant fashion; close up, tanked along, led halfway, made rest, impressive; unlikely another hike in the weights will stop him going close next time, potentially better than a handicapper if he can keep up the good work.
