Clovis has every chance judged by official BHA ratings but Neil Mulholland's gelding faces no easy task giving weight away all round and a safer option in a poor contest looks to be LOCATION, who gets the vote ahead of Abulharith. The last mentioned is less exposed than most of these after just six career starts and has to be considered being dropped into selling grade for the first time having been well held in recent starts in handicaps. Charlie Egerton's Noordhoek Kid ran better in a Yarmouth handicap last time and makes more appeal than Sir Mark Prescott's Ingenue, who has been beaten along way in both starts in maidens so far. There is little to choose between Gay Kelleway's Rose Of Coma and Jonny Portman's Soul Singer, who have both been running consistently well of late but need to improve to get the better of the selection, Location. David Evans has his team in good form at present, does well in sellers and the daughter of Dansili looks worth chancing back in this grade having failed to take to hurdles in her last two starts.
