Verdict

Clergyman is the most recent winner having won a Class 7 contest here last month and beating Jessie Allan, Rapid Rise and Mistry. The latter trio all re-oppose on better terms but it could be the turn of AD VITAM today. The veteran has been placed over 7f the last twice but has won off higher marks over course and distance in the past. Wedgewood Estates could bounce back at any time and David's Beauty is not badly treated on his reappearance.
