Bottom weight Clement is seeking a sixth course victory and is only a pound higher than when successful over track and trip in April, though is poorly drawn. Wilson has tumbled down the weights but has yet to show much improvement for the drop. Kafeel has a good record here over a mile but hasn’t raced since May. GLOBAL HUMOR’s record on Polytrack requires improvement but last month’s Wolverhampton fourth should be competitive off this sort of mark so gets the nod ahead of Chelmsford winner Dollar Value and the potentially well-treated Inaam.
