Lord Clenaghcastle remains unbeaten having won a maiden here before scoring at Kempton. But he’s been raised 8lb and is upped in class today while Leicester winner Inner Circle failed to cope with a rise in the weights last time and stablemate SWAG is preferred. The latter drops in class after finishing fourth at Newbury to the progressive Graphite Storm and should find this easier. Law Power went close again last time having won at Catterick earlier but Tap Tap Boom and Chaplin failed to figure on their respective handicap debuts. Juanito Chico went close in this grade at Epsom and can race off the same mark today.
