Verdict
Clemency looked to be on an upward curve until pulling up at Market Rasen when last seen in February and perhaps it's best to sit and watch on her return to action. In comparison, EL BANDIT confirmed his progression with a comfortable win over course and distance last month and looks the one to beat on similar ground on his handicap debut. Miles To Memphis has clearly had training issues but would be interesting if retaining his ability but course winner Church Field looks a better option after running well at Kempton earlier in the month when only Go West Young Man proved too good.
