Verdict
After scoring over C&D earlier last month, it's been a bit disappointing that Clearing House has been beaten in a lower grade in a couple of starts since. Adam Beschizza's claim will help his cause here and he has the beating of Christmas Coming, but preference goes to ANGELENA BALLERINA. She followed up a win at Southwell with victory over the extended mile at Wolverhampton last time and can land the hat-trick off only a 2lb higher mark. Haulit has been in better form of late but is still without a win, while Sonny G needs some respite from the handicapper.
