York Cliff was a game winner last Friday and and can go in again this afternoon at the expense of Go Free and Shaheer. Mark Brisbourne's gelding landed that seller in game fashion , beating Mostakbel by the shortest of margins. He does have to give weight away this afternoon but it is a weaker race and a follow up looks on the cards. Go Free also hit winning form last time, beating Twentytwosilver in a similar contest at Lingfield, he should be vying for a place. Shaheer landed his first ever victory when getting the better of College Rebel at Southwell earlier this month and another bold bid can be expected. Debbie and Zaffeu are two others capable of getting involved in the finish, but in a wide open event York Cliff is the percentage call.
