Clairette won a maiden at Salisbury last month and is penalised 7lb. That should give the advantage to CAVATINA, who returns to this venue after placing over a mile in soft ground at Haydock last time. Scandaleuse showed the expected improvement when runner-up over 6f here last week and is not out of this and neither is Club Tropicana, who predictably struggled in the Rockfel at Newmarket last time but went close at this venue earlier. The selection’s stablemate Ghanimah, Altra Vita and Brexitmeansbrexit are all newcomers to note.
