Verdict

Clockmaker never figured at Southwell on Tuesday but had earlier gone close behind LOYALTY over track and trip. The latter is upped 3lb but this looks no tougher and Derek Shaw's charge can follow-up. Birdman and Favourite Treat also have something to find with the selection on latest running, but Upavon won here thee weeks ago and could get involved in the finish. Slip Sliding Away steps up in class but Verse Of Love is capable of making the frame if back to his best.
