Wenger, Fieldsofclover and Return Home are the three for the shortlist here with Wenger the selection. Return Home is a consistent if one paced type these days, and although he has not won for a year, he looks sure to be thereabouts after a string of placed efforts. He has winning form in testing conditions so the recent rain should not be a problem and may enhance his chances. Fieldsofclover has won two of his last three starts, the latest in great style, and although he has gone up nine pounds in the ratings he won on soft ground last time and can go well despite top weight. Wenger has winning form with plenty of cut in the ground and his recent efforts have been encouraging. If he can eliminate the odd mistake, he can return to the winners' enclosure off what looks a good mark. Wenger can overcome his opponents here.
