In depth

Verdict

Clarendon House failed to complete his hat-trick after running away with his first two starts. The explanation provided was that he failed to handle soft ground, so he should be right at home on the forecast quick conditions. He may prove too strong for this field but FOUR ADAAY is a sound alternative. She's compiled an admirable record in 2021, becoming a solid, reliable handicapper for the Millman team and there's no reason for her not to go well again on ground she handles. Imperium Blue arrives in good heart, whilst the combination of first-time cheekpieces and the booking of Tom Marquand makes Country Carnival of interest after a better run last time.
