Verdict
CLOWANCE HOUSE beat a former 100-rated horse on the Flat over hurdles at Towcester earlier this month. If that truly signalled a return to form, the six-year-old should take all the beating in this with Willie Twiston-Davies claiming 7lb as he's already won off a higher mark on the level. Saborido has been woefully out of sorts this year but Alfraamsey won twice on the Polytrack last month and went down with all guns blazing over 2m at Kempton nine days ago. Native Colony returns from a lay-off but could also figure if fully wound-up.
