In depth

Verdict

Age Of Wisdom won a selling race over track and trip before scoring at Kempton with Ardamir back in third. He should go well again but the useful hurdler CLIFFS OF DOVER opened his account under this code with a victory over track and trip recently and Paul Nicholls’ charge should make another bold bid today. Give Him Time has yet to win over jumps but has placed over shorter trips in maiden races on the Flat and could figure over this extra distance while Akavit showed progressive form last year but hasn’t raced since August.
