Verdict
Tukhoom is looking to take advantage of a tumble down the weights and went close over a mile at Ayr recently. But CLOTHERHOLME has also slid down the handicap and having finished in front of God Of Dreams when beaten only a neck over course and distance on his reappearance, Ann Duffield’s charge gets the nod. Six Strings’ only win on Turf so far came back in 2019 and he’s recently switched yards while Zylan’s win at Southwell last month came over 6f.
