The toughest race of the evening to weigh up. More Clarets hasn't had much experience but there was plenty to like about her close third at Wexford last week and she probably has more to offer. Mayday Frontier put a disappointing run at Galway behind her with a much better effort behind Matchbook at Cork though she is looking a few pounds high at present. CAFFEINE CRAZE is in good form and though she would prefer a longer trip or much softer conditions she still looks reasonably treated and her amateur rider takes off an invaluable 3lbs. Cape Secret had to drop into selling company for his first success over timber at Uttoxeter and Where's My Slave is still a maiden after 13 attempts.
