Verdict

A tough handicap to round off Saturday's racing and Claptrap is given the slenderest of votes to get the better of Lazzaz, Burley Firebrand and Joely Green - who are hard to split as the main dangers. However, Claptrap, who goes well at this track, has proved himself over this sort of trip of late and is interesting back on a very lenient mark. The son of Royal Applause was frustrating to follow when he was tried over sprint distances but his connections now appear to have found the key to him. A bold show this evening will enhance his claims as one to follow on the artificial surfaces this winter. Joely Green has plenty on at the weights so the consistent front runner Lazzaz is taken as the biggest danger.
