NEZAR (NAP) was only beaten a neck here in March and then won at Wolverhampton. He’s back on the all-weather after a couple of decent runs on Turf this summer and should take all the beating. Clear Spring hasn’t run on the all-weather since 2012 but has been hinting at a revival on Turf this year and is very well treated on his best form. Exceed The Limit was just beaten off a 7lb higher mark when last racing on Polytrack so must have some sort of chance and he makes more appeal than Captain Lars and Razin' Hell.
