Clansman has been threatening to score over longer trips on the Turf while Selecto completed a double here earlier but hasn’t raced since January. CIANCIANA (NAP) found one too good again last time but that was in a tougher contest at Newmarket and Brian Ellison’s charge may prove the one to side with in this. Bunker Bay improved on his handicap debut when runner-up at Yarmouth and is preferred to the more-exposed Busby and Drill To Dream if staying this extra distance.
