Verdict

In his 200th race, Dvinsky was only fourth to the much younger Sole Danser over C&D on Wednesday. The latter has a penalty now, which should bring the pair closer together, but we're prepared to give another chance to CLIFFORDS REPRIEVE. Eric Wheeler's charge found Chjimes a short-head too good over 5f at Lingfield last time but he's slightly better off at the weights today and this extra furlong will suit him more than his old rival. Sherjawy is probably also better over the minimum trip but Rightcar is unlikely to be far away again and Do More Business appears to have improved since the turn of the year.
