RACE VERDICT

Though a beaten favourite on hurdling debut last time over 2m, SANDOR CLEGANE should have improved since and the step up to this trip can see him go one better. Demandrivingdouvan is point’ winner and a smart bumper scorer, so has to be respected on hurdling debut. Silver King should run another respectable race.

RACE VERDICT

Having won his last two and been given time between his races, Penny Jar is of major interest but this ground is softer than what he has won on. However, a chance is taken on CLEAR THE CLOUDS, who ran his best race up to 2m4f last time and should have more to give. Cher Why Not is arguably more effective over 3m but is still a player. Verdant Place and Imperial Kate have the ability to run well and need a market check. [Tyrone Molloy] Source: Racing Post
