Verdict
Both Drop Out Joe and Silver Eagle face a tough task competing under a double penalty. But the latter did go close again at Towcester last time and could figure. CLONDAW HERO can take advantage of the weight concession as he scored by 10 lengths at Musselburgh last month and there should be plenty more to come from him. Warden Hill was well beaten in a handicap on his latest start but had won at Kempton earlier where Howlongisafoot finished tailed off. The latter can only improve on that while Wakanda is another looking to leave behind a poor effort at Aintree last time.
