Clubs Are Trumps is interesting now he is reunited with the last jockey to win on him, while Snowball is forgiven his last run and is better judged on his C&D success on his penultimate start. However, such is the vein of form being enjoyed by RIDDLESTOWN that he is selected to defy a 7lb penalty for his win at this track last week. Basford Ben likes to be up there and should go well, too.
