Verdict

CLUBS ARE TRUMPS makes a swift reappearance after dotting up at Chepstow on Saturday. Despite a 7lb penalty, he’s still very well treated on his best form and Jordan Canavan takes off 10lb again. Tom Neary has proved hard to predict this season but Only Gorgeous likes it here and can’t be ignored. Ugolin De Beaumont showed signs of life over track and trip five weeks ago and should again beat Quinto, who is a pound worse off. Sonoftheking is preferred to Trehan Cross of the remainder.
