CLUBLAND remains in fine fettle and was winning for the second time on Fibresand when beating the re-opposing M J Woodward and Laura's Bairn over course and distance last month. The hat trick beckons with Shawkantango looking the main danger. The latter had Steel City Boy back in third when scoring here before a below par effort at Wolverhampton last time and should be in the mix once again. Love You Louis has gone close on this surface before and looks best of the remainder off his current mark.
