Jarvis snaps up Robinson for Tobosa

Philip Robinson will ride Tobosa in Saturday's Stan James 2000 Guineas at

Newmarket.

Trainer William Jarvis has booked the highly-experienced jockey as Kerrin

McEvoy, who rode the Tobougg colt on his seasonal reappearance, is likely to be

unavailable.

Robinson has had seven winners from just 18 rides since his return earlier

this month after six months off following a major hip operation.

And the 46-year-old will get to know his big-race mount when partnering him in

his final piece of work on Tuesday.

"Philip is a very experienced jockey and we are pleased he has agreed to take

the ride," Jarvis told newmarketracecourses.co.uk.

"Tobosa does his final piece of work ahead of the 2000 Guineas on Tuesday

when Philip will come in and ride him."

Tobosa, a best-priced 50-1 for the colts' Classic, failed by just a short-head

to peg back Prime Defender in the European Free Handicap over seven furlongs at

Newmarket recently.
