Verdict

Storm Melody has been in the mix since winning at Wolverhampton while Aces scored at Kempton before beaten off today’s mark last time. CLASHANISKA (NAP) followed a classified success with victory in a handicap over course and distance three days ago. He’s penalised for this but should have the measure of fourth-placed Knockout Blow once again and the hat-trick beckons for Tony Carroll’s charge. Champagne Supanova looks best of the rest having slid down the weights.
