Lord Clenaghcastle completed a double last summer and wasn't beaten far off a 2lb higher mark than tonight on his hat-trick bid at Epsom. Shadow Warrior landed a 1m2f maiden here and has also scored over this trip at Lingfield though may be a few pounds high. Secret Return has won on Polytrack and ground with some give but faces fast going for the first time. He had Sir Plato 3l behind at Leicester and should confirm the form though the latter has since scored on quicker ground at Bath. KINGSTON KURRAJONG has a course and distance victory to his credit and bounced back to winning ways at Kempton last week. He goes unpenalised as it was an apprentices' race and a quick double looks on the cards.
