    Verdict

    Fard beat Cappadocia when scoring at Wolverhampton can go well again but Clashaniska faces a tougher task having won a classified event over 7f here. KNOCKOUT BLOW (NAP) landed a course and distance double at the end of last year and having already slipped back down to a winning mark and placing on his latest start, John Long’s charge can get his head back in front. Ancient Astronaut ran a shocker when sent off favourite at Wolverhampton a couple of days ago with top weight Griggy preferred after a better effort at Newcastle last week.
