Saint Calvados and Killer Clown have a bit to prove at present but Baron De Midleton is on a roll and it’s only a matter of time before Christopher Wood records a first success over fences. Though only a narrow winner at Carlisle last month, that victory will have done wonders for the confidence of DUBAI DAYS who won at this meeting last year. Bass Rock has lost his way and was behind Richmond Lake here in February with the latter winning since at Haydock.
