Verdict

CLOCKER reverted back to her slow starting ways but it was encouraging she could match her previous best when runner up at Leicester 17 days ago (pulled long way clear of the remainder). She can confirm her mark to be an exploitable one, possibly at the chief expense of Wolverhampton scorer Blue Tulip, who appeals as the type to progress further in staying handicaps. Musical Accord didn't kick on as expected in maidens but this switch to handicaps can see her to better effect now.

3	Time Test filly who crucially got away on terms and duly showed improved form when off the mark in a 6-runner Hamilton handicap (11f) 2 starts back. Reverted to slow starting but ran at least as well when second at Leicester since (clear of remainder) and she's of interest again. 1st Pick 3 Clocker Jockey: Oisin James Orr Trainer: Edward Bethell J: Oisin James Orr T: Edward Bethell	100	-	-	-	63%

1	A £350,000 buy and half-sister to several winners but hasn't lived up to expectations in maiden/novice events. Needs a big step forward upped in trip for handicap debut but is in the right hands to do so and she possesses a good deal of scope. 3rd Pick 1 Musical Accord Jockey: Rhys Clutterbuck Trainer: Ralph Beckett J: Rhys Clutterbuck T: Ralph Beckett	83	-	-	-	19%	Scratched
