Verdict

A seriously tough Saturday handicap in which a reasoned based argument could be made for any number of those declared. The likes of Zolfo (seeking a five-timer) and Flowery (has risen 22lb in the weights) continue in a rich vein of form, while both The Paddy Pie (dangerously handicapped) and Pain Au Chocolat (3-3 at Newcastle) shouldn't be dismissed with haste. However, in pursuit of the winner we'll elect to focus upon the Wetherby form line featuring CLAN LEGEND and Bollin Ace. On that occasion, Nick Alexander's representative travelled smoothly for much of the race when beaten by a bang-in-form Nuts Well, and may gain swift compensation.
  1. Clan Legend
