Top-weight Clock On Tom ran well on his previous start and has prospects under his 7lb claimer, while C'Est Du Gateau may do better over this shorter trip after a promising effort last time. Norse Castle is interesting at the foot of the handicap, but the one to beat may be AZA RUN, who acts on heavy ground and whose rise of 6b for winning over C&D is fair.
