Where's Reiley, Monsieur Jamie and Pick A Little have all done their recent winning on the Fibresand at Southwell and Torres Del Paine makes more appeal as he bids for a C&D hat-trick off a 5lb higher mark. Clear Praise showed a bit more last time but is still 3lb higher than last year's win over C&D and the vote goes to ARCTIC LYNX. John Best's charge failed to last home once again over 7f here last month, but had earlier gone close when runner-up over track and trip and it could be his turn today.
