| Developed into a useful performer for Tom Clover last year, winning a novice on reappearance. Had excuses racing on disadvantaged side of track on first run for new yard when eighth of 19 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Looks the sort of recruit this yard do well with. | ||||||||

| A C&D winner of a 3-y-o handicap on this card 12 months ago. Ran with credit on subsequent outings but shaped as if amiss last 2 starts, though faced stiff task in listed race at Bro Park last September. The return to a realistic level should help but well-being has to be taken on trust. | ||||||||

A wide-open sprint handicap with several in with a shout and it's WILD CLARY who gets the nod on the back of his recent Kempton effort. Sixtygeesbaby is lightly raced and can prove second best, while Great St Wilfrid winner Intervention and course specialist Fortamour can fight it out for minor money. |
