Verdict
CLARAGH NATIVE ran well on good ground at Wetherby and Aintree at the start of the summer. He's had a short break but should be thereabouts in this if fully wound-up. The four-year-old Dynamo is an interesting runner from the foot of the handicap but winning hurdler Jayo Time didn't show a great deal on his chasing bow and the handicapper isn't giving Breaking The Bank much leeway at present. Tour D'Argent has ability but has also had his problems and the market may be the best guide to his chances here.
