The progressive Renardeau escapes a penalty having landed a double at Lingfield with last week’s success in an apprentices' handicap. Dylan Hogan can utilise his claim today and the partnership must go close again but a chance is taken on SEVEN CLANS (NAP). The latter was narrowly beaten at Southwell a week ago on his first attempt at today’s distance and he drops down a grade for this having won three of six previous starts at the track. Dream Magic won easily over track and trip last time but is raised in class today and maiden winner Clap Your Hands is preferred back in a handicap. Soloist has had a recent spin over hurdles and was placed at Newcastle when last on the Flat.
