Verdict

CLEMENTO may be a maiden on the level, but he proved he could win over hurdles in May, and went very close at Ayr last time. With a top apprentice booked, he makes plenty of appeal. Amanto won cosily over C&D last time, and should go well again despite a 5lb rise, and the well-handicapped Against The Odds is another to consider, assuming blinkers continue to have a positive effect.
