CLUELESS found only Circus Clown, who runs in the first division of this, too good at Ayr last time and gets the vote to go one better. Kingsdale Orion has shown a bit more of late and should give a good account, while Irish raider Storm Breaker won twice over hurdles in June and could be thereabouts. Brasingaman Eric disappointed at Pontefract last time but scored at Beverley before that and Terenzium won for today's rider at Hamilton in June and is another with claims in a tricky finale.
