Verdict
Plenty with clams in this including EL VIENTO, a runner-up at Ayr last month when finishing ahead of Gowanharry, Fredricka, Apricot Sky, Cosmic Chatter and Rusty Rocket. Clubland won easily over 6f at Chester last time while Waseem Faris was a close-up third over today's trip at Sandown. Free Zone went close in heavy ground at Ffos Las in August and Stanghow was beaten only a head at Beverley in the same month. Bashiba ran well again at Ripon having won at Doncaster before that and is another to consider.
