CLANSMAN (1) was an easy 9L winner at Thirsk (1m4f) eleven days ago and then won even more easily over 1m6f at Ripon on Friday. Expected to stay the longer trip and hard to beat under a penalty. GREATNESS AWAITS (2) has flattered to deceive hurdling. Down to an appealing flat mark now. Consider. YOUNG MERLIN (6) maintained excellent form tackling hurdles last year. A player if transferring that level to the flat. QUEENSLAND BOY (5) is on the same mark as when landing a 1m3 1/2f handicap last summer. Warrants thought attempting this journey.
