In depth
Verdict
Six Of Clubs keeps on finding a bit more and will need to do so again today after scoring by a neck at Wolverhampton last time. Squad went very close over C&D three weeks ago and has decent claims though he finished just behind runner-up HONOURABLE KNIGHT at Kempton earlier. The latter is not the most consistent but can confirm running on better terms and gets the tentative vote. Ya Hafed has been placed over hurdles of late so 2m back on the Flat should be no problem and an improved effort from Low Key would be no surprise.
