Verdict

Something of a repeat of last month's C&D contest with the first 4 on that occasion all back in opposition. Highland Harvey was second that day but is fancied to deservedly double his tally. With Bug Boy not sure to be in the same form this time, Clipsham Noble is feared most.

1	Had a good Brighton record down the years and he came with a storming late run to end a lengthy losing sequence over C&D last month, proving just too strong for Highland Harvey despite a typically slow start. Task is to back that up. 3rd Pick 1 Bug Boy (Ire) Jockey: Taryn Langley Trainer: Tony Newcombe J: Taryn Langley T: Tony Newcombe	96	-	-	-	13%
