Verdict
THE CRAFTYMASTER had plenty in hand when winning over 1m6f at Chelmsford a week ago and a 5lb penalty for that success may not be enough to stop him from following up. Tarbat Ness has won his last two Flat starts, including over C&D last time, and he could give the selection plenty to think about. Clansman edges out Billy Bathgate to be next best.
Expert View Verdict
Arcimboldo has a race like this in him and first-time cheekpieces may give him a needed shot in the arm, but he was so far behind TARBAT NESS last time that it's hard to see him reversing form. The selection has won his last two starts on the Flat, and three of his last four. He won well here last time and 5lb rise may not be enough to stop him going in again. Clansman returned from an absence with a good run over 12f here and is of some interest on this step up in trip, so isn't one to overlook.
