Verdict

CLARENCE (1) is going better than his form suggests and could be ready to put it all together on the quick back-up. The draw is sticky but he'll appreciate a hot early tempo and can reel them in late. PANTOJA (17) has built nicely into this fourth-up and gets his chance to produce a peak. He's been kept on the fresh side and rates as one of the main chances. PALM OF JUMEIRAH (8) is a proven fresh performer and resumes off a short break over a favoured trip. Two hitouts have her forward enough and she should make her presence felt. OVER YONDER (2) disappointed as favourite last time but wasn't disgraced. His best figures stack up and the 7lbs claim gets him in well. He stays in the mix. INVERTATIONAL (10) was a barnstorming winner second-up. Less effective last time but has been kept fresh with a trial to keep him ticking over. She stays onside.
