NORTHCLIFF was a decisive winner at Wetherby on Sunday and a 5 lb penalty doesn't look enough to stop him if in the same form. The Thames Boatman ran well from his lower turf mark at Bath 10 days ago and is the one likely to give him most to do.

Verdict
Visored first time, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm, 13/2) on Sunday. Did that comfortably so a 5 lb penalty may not stop him going in again.

10/1 and cheekpieces on first time, creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 12 days ago. She's been eased another 2 lb and it's still relatively early days for her with the George Boughey team.
