CLAMPDOWN kept on well to take second over 7f here last time. He should have no problem with this longer trip on that evidence and can land a poor handicap. Callendula may improve now handicapping and is preferred to stablemate Duc De Seville but Directional has finished nearer last in all three starts in maiden company. Luv U finished ahead of a few of these when sixth at Kempton last time and may get involved stepping up in trip and Diamond Runner wasn't beaten far over a mile here back in October.
