This looks a competitive race for the level. CLAY shaped well on his recent Doncaster handicap debut and is well worth a chance to confirm that promise but there are plenty of possible dangers, headed by Just Loose Change who had next-time-out winners behind in second and third when making a successful handicap debut at Worcester in the autumn. Pleasant Man went very close off this mark at Exeter last week and should also be bang there if coping with 2 outings in quick succcession.
