        Verdict

        CLIPSHAM LA HABANA started favourite at Wolverhampton but found one too good having failed to obtain a clear run. He gets another chance in this. Crocodile Roll posted a better effort at Leicester while Mindthegap may improve for today’s drop down in distance. Poetic Jack is related to winning sprinters and preferred to stablemate Bluff while Yankee Spirit is another newcomer to note.
