      Verdict

      Island Brave is a regular winner in this grade though has never proved himself over the trip. CLAP YOUR HANDS is now 16lb higher than when his winning run began but scored with a ton in hand over 1m6f here last month and a four-timer beckons. Charlie D scored at this level at Bath in September but was well beaten into second over the track and trip in October. Dance To Paris, a winning hurdler, has scored over the trip at Lingfield and over 1m6f here so has to be a threat but Yellow Tiger has never run beyond 1m4f.
