Claragh Native will be fancied to follow up a recent victory at Perth, when Toledo Gold and Sergeant Pink were behind. But he's 5lb higher here and was beaten 13 lengths by Toledo Gold at Sedgefield earlier when the latter was allowed an easy lead. MORNING TIME can be a bit hit-and-miss but likes it here. He's bidding for a fifth course win over this trip having again failed to last out over a longer distance over hurdles at Perth last time. An Capall Mor is little better than a plater nowadays and has been running over hurdles lately.
