CLEMENCY has a Flat pedigree so it was disappointing that she didn't manage to win a bumper. But maybe she'll fare better over hurdles and, getting 14lb here from the two previous winners, she should take all the beating if her jumping stands up. Regulation has form at a decent level and was second in a handicap over course and distance in May. He looks the danger ahead of Worcester maiden winner Canicallyouback. Ifan has won three times on the Flat and still has scope under NH Rules.
