Clodoald is on to the hat-trick after back-to-back successes in selling company at Uttoxeter and Worcester of late and is the TEAMtalk selection to make a winning return to handicap grade. Martin Pipe's charge looks worth following now that he has enjoyed a couple of confidence boosters and should take plenty of beating with trip/ground in his favour. Free Return is lightly raced over timber and can improve further having shown a fair level of ability when in the frame at Hereford on his return from a year on the sidelines. The consistent Richie's Delight looks sure to run his race once again and can make an impact but Zeloso was beaten off this mark at Market Rasen yesterday and looks opposable off his current mark.
