CLIPSHAM TIGER finally opened his account when landing one of these classified events at Chelmsford last week. A chance is taken Mick Appleby’s charge handles the surface in which case he should confirm latest running with Dutch Artist. Sea Shack is another with a shout debuting on the Fibresand while several have past form here including the latter’s stablemate Limerick Lord, who last won over track and trip in March. Port Soif scored here in the same month but arrives out of sorts having finished down the field last time along with another course and distance winner in Molten Lava.
