Verdict

WILD CLARY arrives at the top of his game and is fancied to defy a 5 lb penalty for his comfortable Newbury success at the chief expense of Vince L'Amour who hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green of late and can bounce back to form here. Dark Thirty could also play a prominent role if shrugging aside an underwhelming effort at Thirsk.
