In depth
Verdict
CLIPSHAM TIGER has disappointed since landing a hat-trick back in 2019 but has slid down the weights as a consequence. He returned from an absence with a second at Newcastle and is preferred to Laurentia. The latter placed over track and trip a fortnight ago and can figure again while Kodimoor went close here on his penultimate start. Disarming won off a higher mark at the track at the start of the year and Marie Paradis can do better dropping back down in trip today.
