    Verdict

    Apart from when the bit slipped through his mouth at Exeter two runs ago, MR CLARKSON has been impressive so far over hurdles and looks destined for better things. David Noonan’s claim means he is getting 3lb from Newbury winner Sneaky Feeling, though the latter will find this easier than the Grade 2 he contested last time at Cheltenham. Sandhurst Lad has been well beaten in all starts to date and will probably struggle to keep up with his rivals on the final circuit.
