Verdict

WATERCLOCK found One For Harry too good in a similar contest over a shorter trip here three weeks ago. But it was a good effort nonetheless and Micky Hammond's charge gets another chance in this. Another Mattie landed a lower grade contest at Kelso last time and may not have stopped improving yet while Quel Elite posted a good effort in better company at Carlisle last time though the veteran rarely wins nowadays. Sir Vinski has yet to show his best so far this season and first-time blinkers are applied while Victor Hewgo last won over hurdles back in 2013 though can race off the same mark here.
