Verdict
J'Ai Froid included Some Can Dance among his victims when scoring at Exeter and is 5lb higher today. But ROYAL CLARET was last seen winning by 10 lengths over today’s trip at Plumpton in December and Tom Symonds’ charge is taken to defy a rise in the weights and go in again. Rainy City is getting closer as he slips further down the handicap and is another to consider after finishing runner-up at Musselburgh and Sammy B is not out of this either having placed at Ayr last time. Pistol has something to prove over the trip and Rivabodiva is preferred with cheekpieces added to her usual tongue-tie.
