Verdict

Clear Sailing and UNITED NATIONS look the two to concentrate on in this seller and narrow preference is for the latter. Noel Wilson's gelding is rated 82; that is 7lb higher than main market rival Clear Sailing and unlike some in the line-up he has been running to his mark of late. He recoded a treble here in winter and he will be suited by a return to this surface today. Clear Sailing beat perennial place material Bavarica at Great Leighs last time by the narrowest of margins and although he is another who should relish the return to this track (wide-margin winner here in December), he has a bit of improvement to find this afternoon. All In The Red is now in the hands of Ben Pollock and he has a task on his hands to rejuvenate the gelding whose only two wins have come when trained by Gaye Kelleway. Don Pietro and Redwater River both have bits and pieces of form in weaker races than this, whilst any market move for Countrywide Comet for an in-form yard would be interesting but he has tons to find at these weights. A two horse race and United Nations is fancied.
