Clemency will be fancied to make it third-time lucky after seconds here and at Fakenham. But she may find one too good again in the form of CHARLIE'S OSCAR. The latter paid the price for trying to stay close to a suicidal pace at Newbury on his debut but is thought capable of much better. Mere Anarchy is a half-sister to the stable's winning hurdler/chaser Mrs Peachey, who also won a bumper, while Cosmic Diamond is another newcomer to note.
