        Verdict

        LORD CLENAGHASTLE is in rude health at the moment, defying a penalty to win at Brighton last time having previously scored over this C&D. He's on a career-high mark now but could be up to defying it and have Ryan Moore for company won't harm his chances. Sir Plato would be a massive danger if able to bring his Windsor form with him to this track while Pumaflor and Shifting Star are also considered.
