Cliffords Reprieve has had easier chances than this recently and failed and it could pay to stick with PERLACHY. He beat Atlantic Cycle at Wolverhampton last week and a hat trick looks on the cards as Ron Harris' charge has won off today's higher mark in the past. Danzoe has shown a bit more of late and a repeat of his fourth over C&D last month would see him in the mix, along with Sherjawy, who finished just behind him last time. Crimson Queen makes most appeal of the remainder.
