A teenager now and no longer the force of old but was placed three consecutive times before clinging on to win by a short head at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) in February; pulled nicely clear of the others with a next-time-out winner there, so a 4lb rise is arguably lenient.

Just 1-21 overall but is back on the mark he defied at Stratford last July (3m3f, good), and he'd only just missed out in this corresponding race immediately beforehand (C&D record reads 2225); not out of this.

Won over a similar trip at Stratford last summer (on good ground) when only 1lb lower; hasn't kicked on but might be better for a break.

Twice went close before off the mark at Stratford (3m2f, good) but hasn't kicked on from there and this trip might be on the sharp side.

Verdict

Competitive stuff. CLOVIS BOY has been in good form over 2m4f since moving into handicaps and there can be considerable optimism today’s step up in trip will prompt further improvement from this very lightly raced 4yo. Shewearsthewellies thrived this autumn and is second choice ahead of fellow progressive contenders It’s Maisy and Abbeyhill.[Ben Hutton]
