Verdict
Clearance was a winner at Newton Abbot over the summer and second over course and distance off today’s mark last month. Sarceaux has had a break but will enjoy ground conditions, though BLENDED STEALTH makes more appeal. Though 0-12, he has started favourite the last twice and clearly didn’t taken to fences last time at Lingfield. Aggagio’s run at Fontwell was too bad to be true considering his form on the Flat over the summer but Lough Carra keeps finding one too good.
