Clary had just over a length to spare over Imperial Link here last week with Odd Ball a well-beaten fourth. But David Evans' charge could take his revenge on the revised terms. The consistent Knight Of The Air is another for the short-list but the vote goes to GRANOLA given his Wetherby victory, in which he still exhibited signs of inexperience, came on just his second start of the campaign. Master Clockmaker is still a maiden and Bleu Astral is getting no nearer despite a tumble down the weights.
