CLEARING HOUSE won over a mile at Lingfield earlier this month and failed to follow up by the narrowest of margins over 7f at Kempton on Wednesday. The return to a longer trip here should suit and John Ryan's charge gets the vote.

Wrecking Crew has been running well without success over longer distances but may struggle over today's trip.
