Verdict

CLARENCE (4) has been up a long while but continues to hold his form, and this looks a very suitable assignment. He'll stalk the speed, hunt them into the straight, and have plenty to offer when they quicken. MAJOR RUMBLE (13) has returned in terrific order and finds another race that sets up beautifully for him. He'll be blending in strongly at the top of the lane and is sure to be right there when the pressure goes on. STAR SIRIUS (11) was a sharp improver second-up and should come on again, though Toeroek will need to be clever from the draw. CORK HARBOUR (12) is ticking over nicely and will give himself every chance up on speed. He draws well, gets in light with the claim, and will take plenty of running down if left alone.
