    Verdict

    This is a trappy affair and Clarricien, Love Brothers, Danish Rebel and Elyaadi can all be given a chance with the vote given to Clarricien. The selection was disappointing when last seen out at the end of last season but the ground was against him that day and the return to this faster surface should suit. His previous form reads well in the context of this race and providing he has trained-on he should go close. Elyaadi does not lack ability but she is not the most straightforward and on those grounds she is opposed today. Love Brothers ran a blinder last time but consistency is not his strong point, while Danish Rebel won well at Musselburgh last time at big odds but he may not get the race run to suit today as he made-all in that contest. This could become a tactical affair and the narrow vote is given to Clarricien who should be suited by this step-up in trip.
