Verdict
Clem A has changed yards again having won at Wolverhampton in March and a hood is fitted on his reappearance. Headgear is also applied to Dubai Instinct after a poor effort at Newmarket on his return but Renardeau was nowhere near his best at Kempton last time. Banish hasn’t won since 2017 but OVERWRITE landed a higher-grade handicap than this at Windsor in June and, having been narrowly beaten at Goodwood last week, Mark Johnston’s colt looks the one to side with.
