In depth
Verdict
Clear Water has only won a maiden so far but has slipped down the weights and was narrowly beaten over 6f here last time. MEDICI BANCHIERE has also yet to win a handicap but was placed in a tougher contest than this at Lingfield last time and can race off the same mark today. Cyrus Dallin is not badly treated on last year’s success at Goodwood and could be in the mix while Fieldsman should be sharper for a recent comeback and is preferred to Loyalty, who won a claimer here at the start of the year.
