Exit Europe should be approaching peak fitness after a narrow defeat at Lingfield, where he pulled hard. Clef has form at a higher level but is making her all-weather debut and she hasn’t managed a victory this year. MEDICEAN EL DIABLO and Ebbisham boast a similar record on this surface and both arrive off the back of recent victories. Jimmy Fox’ charge has the better draw today so can come out on top. Others with decent claims includes last week’s course and distance winner Fredricka and Lucymai.
