Verdict
Trace Clip has been in good form of late will go on the ground and is the one to beat despite top weight from the bang in form Barry Hills yard. Salviati loves this course and distance goes on any ground but was slightly disappointing last last time out and he may be in the handicappers grip at present. My American Beauty has slipped to a handy mark and she may be the value each way bet in a wide open contest.
