Verdict

Duke Of Clarence makes his debut on Turf having scored at Kempton back in March and Richard Hughes prefers stablemate Caterina today. The latter beat a subsequent winner at Folkestone last month and looks sure to figure while May Be Some Time also has claims on his win in better company at Epsom in July. Uphold would prefer a longer trip and Welsh Nayber has the past form to get involved but so does EDGEWORTH. David Bridgewater's charge scored in similar ground over C&D under today's apprentice back in June and gets the nod racing off only a 1lb higher mark today.
