Clockmaker finished ahead of Ythan Waters when runner-up here last week.

Princess Peaches won a maiden race over track and trip last time having been beaten in handicaps off today's mark earlier while Tartan Trip is struggling for form and both of Harwoods Star's earlier victories on the Fibresand came over 5f.
