In depth
Verdict
Desertmore Hill has had a few entries lately so has to go on the short-list if turning up for this as he's shown promise in both starts. But THE CLONLISK BUG may have a bit more scope and stepping up to 2m should suit as he got outpaced by Arthamint over 1m6f at Ludlow in December. Rebecca Curtis' charge can get the better of Wincanton fourth Infinityandbeyond and stoutly-bred newcomer Western Miller. Top Priority represents a powerful yard but may need more time.
