Lawney Hill wasted no time in sending CLONDAW WESTIE chasing and he shaped up very well first time with an authoritative Leicester success. He will need improvement to follow up from 9lb higher, but he may well be able to find that over this longer trip and he is suggested. Cucklington hinted at a revival last time and could do better again at a track where he has won, while Sutter's Mill is respected along with Big Time Frank.
