CLUMBER PLACE is an obvious selection after suffering a narrow-margin defeat at the hands of Alluring Star over track and trip last time. This looks less competitive and she gets the nod. Iggy wasn't beaten far over 5f here recently but will need to step up on his previous efforts at today's distance while it was soft going when Graceful Act won at Newcastle last month and she's been beaten off a higher mark since. Seaside Rock and Imperator Augustus have both slid down the weights without showing any benefit as yet.
