Verdict
Credit Swap, winner of the 2010 Cambridgeshire, won on soft ground at Leicester on his belated hurdling debut and wasn't disgraced in three runs after. This testing track may not be in his favour, however. Benbens won a novice event at Cartmel in June but has more on his plate here while Attaglance, Kalanisi Kid and Clouseau all return from a break. The Starboard Bow should be all the better for his return to action over a longer trip at Kelso, however, and Danceintothelight has been placed on the Flat recently. But we like the look of CIRCUS CLOWN, who has been running really well in staying handicaps on the level and is probably still improving. He looks the pick of the weights in this.
