Verdict
CLAPPERBOARD has to be forgiven a poor effort at Kempton last time as he gave the impression today's shorter trip would suit when placed over 6f here before that. Green Music is another dropping back in distance after a third at Kempton but Anfield has been raised 5lb after making the frame again at the same track last month. Stablemate's Hot Amber and Febrayer Star both get first-time headgear on their handicap debuts and Argent Touch finished a bit closer over track and trip when handicapping for the first time.
