In depth

Verdict

Riviere Argentee won at Catterick last month but Clemento wasn’t beaten far and has a chance of reversing the form with the former now penalised. Better going will suit NORTHWEST FRONTIER, who made a pleasing return to action at Thirsk when only weakening inside the final furlong. Artful Rogue is slipping down the weights but is 0-10 on Turf and Theglasgowwarrior has done all of his winning on Tapeta at Newcastle. Mystikana is another all-weather specialist and Akamanto may need the run.
