First-time blinkers can help gelding take advantage of drop in weights

8.15 Kempton
1pt win at 7-1 generally

All the early money in Kempton’s 6f handicap has been for Simon Crisford’s Maakaasib which means Robero is now available to back at a much bigger price than his overall chance suggests.

Bought by Gay Kelleway as “an all-weather horse” this summer, Robero has slipped 15lb in the weights since finishing an excellent fifth in Newmarket’s 7f Bunbury Cup for Mick Easterby in July 2017.
