Claire Underwood just held on to beat Star Of Southwold by a head at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago with a disappointing Brittanic failing to run his race. But the first two are hard to separate on that running and another chance goes to GLOBAL ART. The latter was beaten less than a length over a longer trip last time having placed over course and distance in the past and Ed Dunlop’s charge gets a tentative vote. Perpetrator may well improve now handicapping but will need to while Samphire Coast has done all his winning so far over shorter distances.
