Verdict
This looks a decent handicap as most of these appear capable of adding to their tally this season. Kiltealy Briggs won at Haydock and Musselburgh last term and was taking on smart opposition in the spring. Tamaroc Du Mathan was second in a Grade 3 at Newbury in March but this track should suit KILLER CLOWN, who won at Wincanton and Kempton earlier in the year and can be forgiven his final run of the campaign over the National fences at Aintree. Rapid Response was fourth in the Summer Plate here in July and has travelled over from Ireland again but this is s step up in class for Orrisdale and Guy generally struggles to get his head in front.
