Clapped has been threatening to lose his maiden tag but last month's placed efforts at the track came over 6f and ASIA MINOR is preferred. She made her Polytrack debut over a shorter trip at Lingfield when a close-up third with Saffron Park well beaten and breeding suggests today's distance will bring further progress. Nolecce scored over track and trip earlier this month but finished nearer last on his latest start while Sir Dylan has the past form to figure but arrives badly out of sorts.
