Verdict
A few of these have been thereabouts of late but OFFICER DRIVEL looks to have the strongest form. He was runner-up at Windsor last time and the third has subsequently won. Clive Clifton has been placed in plating races at Windsor recently and steps up in trip and Machine Learner was second at Wolverhampton last week. Fearless Lad scored over 1m2f here in June while Spinners Ball has been placed over shorter distances and makes his handicap debut.
