CLIPSHAM GOLD had Mogwai back in third when winning at Kempton last month. She’s still improving and her double on fast ground at Leicester last summer suggests she can defy a 5lb rise. Eponina is back on a winning mark if rediscovering her best but Finery does most of her winning on the all-weather and Millicent is preferred back up in trip with underfoot conditions to suit. Swing To The Stars makes her handicap debut with a hood applied for the first time.
