In depth

Verdict

Only Ten Per Cent went close at Southwell off today's mark on his penultimate start but The Dandy Yank has failed to figure since winning at Kempton in September. Flighty Clarets is hard to catch right but ran well at Wolverhampton on her latest start and FOR AYMAN was narrowly beaten in third at Kempton last time. The latter looks to have every chance racing off the same mark in this. Ada Lovelace looks high enough in the weights but Clear Praise continues to slip down the handicap and may get involved.
