In depth
Verdict
Samtara’s fifth at Ludlow last month was his best run of the season. Glance From Clover is 0-14 but not out of this and Fame And Concrete led into the straight last time at Wetherby in a better race having finished a long way ahead of Getupearly when third at Lingfield earlier. Points winner MOODOFTHEMOMENT (NAP) gets the vote as he makes his handicap debut over a more suitable trip having raced exclusively over 2m so far under Rules.
