Verdict
Clovelly Bay scored over this trip at Chelmsford in November and has raced over longer trips in subsequent starts so he should go well but Dizzey Heights has only shown form on ground much softer than this. Beausant won on soft ground here last month over an extra furlong and there was plenty of give in the ground when he ran well at Newbury last week. Saint Helena was a 66/1 chance when scoring over a mile here last month and she's actually better over today's trip. Mary Le Bow has only won at Wolverhampton so a chance is taken on MAN LOOK. Andrew Balding's charge made a successful reappearance last season over this trip and raced exclusively over further subsequently. He's been given a chance by the assessor and looks ready to score again.
