      In depth

      Verdict

      Icefall improved on his debut over hurdles when finishing second at Market Rasen but CLEMENTO (NAP) showed a nice turn of foot to beat The Steward here in May on his hurdles bow. The four-year-old has run twice on the Flat since and his stable continue to fire in the winners. Fort Jefferson won twice on the level after scoring at Bangor in May but couldn’t cope with a penalty back over timber last time. Sunny West is probably best watched returning from a very long absence.
