Verdict

Clifton, Seafire Lad and James Bay look the three to concentrate on in this poor seller and the vote is given to Clifton. The selection was a fair fifth behind Beamish Prince in similar grade last time out but with step up in trip likely to bring about improvement he looks the one to be on. Seafire Lad rates the main danger on his best form but he looks vulnerable under top weight. James Boy is anorther that could well now he drops in grade but consistency is not his strong point. Of the remainder Wait For The Call is another from a shrewd yard that is dropping in grade and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Clifton to small stakes.
