 An impressive chasing debut from Big Rob in only his fifth race, although this was notably a weak race after the withdrawal of top weight Vista Verde. Big Rob is built to come into his own in this game and starting from his lowly hurdle mark, he looks to have plenty improvement to come, suggesting he is one to follow. Connections are not in any hurry with him, worried that at five he was starting his main career a little early. He will be kept to this trip, although he is expected to get three miles in time.
