Verdict

Al's Memory and Clement finished practically upsides over course and distance last time but neither threatened the winner. This longer trip is no problem for recent 6f winner Indus Valley but a 4lb rise in the weights might be and OAK BLUFFS is preferred. Richard Fahey's three-year-old opened his account over a mile at Wolverhampton in November and may be capable of better still now he's got his head in front. Bookmaker also has more scope than most of these and is another to consider.
