Charlie Mann is a rare visitor here so Not In The Clock's chance is taken seriously. The drop back to two miles will suit and he'd certainly be good enough if rediscovering the form of his Sandown debut run when filling the minor placing behind the top-class Kumbeshwar back in February. However, he does seem to have deteriorated somewhat since then and a chance is taken on TOWER. This lightly raced sort has shown promise in both outings over timber and should be spot-on now following a mid-division finish in a fair handicap on the level earlier in the month. Dashing Doc and Enjoy Your Life were both put in their place by Abergavenny last time but the pair can be expected to get involved here.
