CLAYTON HALL made a promising start when narrowly beaten over track and trip last month. Richard Fahey's charge may prove good enough with normal progress, though he finished less than a length in front of Proven Point which brings the latter into the reckoning. Red Hot Chilly is getting closer and is less exposed than Lingfield runner-up Zio Gianni while Velvet Revolution and Muthraab Aldaar are likely improvers this year and worth noting in the betting.
