In depth

Verdict

CLONDAW NATIVE made a decent debut over hurdles when third over today’s trip at Uttoxeter earlier in the month and can go close with normal progress. Mahlermade is another to consider as he steps up in trip after a second at Chepstow in his hurdling bow while Silver Kayf posted an improved effort when fourth at Exeter last time. Trust The Man was still well beaten when runner-up at Sandown but No Hiding place has to come into the reckoning representing the Henderson yard on his first start over timber.
