    Verdict

    GARRY CLERMONT wasn’t beaten far in two runs over fences the season before last and was in good form over hurdles last term. He reverts to chasing on a very fair mark getting 8lb from both Uttoxeter scorer Thunder Rock and Solo, who is penalised for an easy win at Sandown 12 days ago. Bowtogreatness won twice over hurdles at the start of the year while Iamastar, though only four, has already placed in Grade 2 and Listed company in France.
