Verdict
Club House should go well again despite a penalty for last week's victory over track and trip. Enriching and Heirarch are others who usually run their race, though whether that will be good enough off their current marks is another matter. Dozy Joe makes more appeal having slipped down the weights but Little Indian disappointed last time behind runner-up TIMOTHY T. The latter returned from a three-year absence in October off a mark of 80. Now rated 62 with Jack Garritty taking a further 3lb off his back, it could be his turn today.
