Six Of Clubs came home first in a farcical affair at Wolverhampton earlier this month and the form is best discarded. However, he did score over C&D in December when beating subsequent maiden winner and today's rival Davana and has decent claims on that score. HINDU KUSH was easily outpointed by La Estrella, who runs earlier on the card, over 1m6f here three weeks ago. But Robert Mills charge finished well clear of the rest and may still be up to winning a race at this level. He gets the vote with Horsley Warrior looking best of the remainder.
