Seven Clans has his first run since winning a Kempton maiden in December. Uncle Dermot won under 7lb claimer Richard Condon at Nottingham but then failed to follow up off the same mark at Epsom. Wakame has only raced twice on turf previously and wasn't disgraced last time at Beverley but FOUR POETS might be the one to beat if handling this easier surface as he won on fast going at Catterick in May and was only beaten half-a-length at Yarmouth on his handicap debut. Zebs Lad is trying a mile for the first time on his 38th career start but did win over 7f on soft going at Lingfield last month.
