Haven't A Clue is our call with Rocket Rob and Temperence Hall likely to give him most to do. The presence of the Sir Mark Prescott charge appears to have scared off much of the meaningful opposition and having obliged here in some style over six furlongs, this step up should not reate any problems and he will be priced accordingly. Rocket Rob was bought in after landing a Yarmouth seller so he clearly possesses some ability. He is in receipt of lots of weights from our selection. Temperence Hall produced a much improved effort to be third in a Yarmouth maiden. Beaten 24 lengths previously, it will be interesting to see if the handicapper has done his sums correctly. Josiah Bartlett was badly outpaced over five on handicap introduction and he is wisely upped in trip. Nun Today obliged in a very bad seller for fillies and looks up against it if the speed figures are anything to go by. Forster Island and Mr Clearview have not shown a lot and need to find improvement fast. Seb Sanders has a good book of rides at Dunstall Park on Monday and it will be surprising if Haven't A Clue isn't the pick of them.
