Racing Post verdict
Third-partyKlassleader's punchy handicap success claims plenty of attention and he'll rightly be fancied by many, but there could be better value in Claymore, who franked his smart form from abroad with an equally taking handicap win last time and looks capable of building on that off a workable mark. Klassleader is the most obvious danger on a progressive, lightly-raced profile, while Burdett Road, third on our figures, and the improving Sportingsilvermine - denied a length or so by trouble in running last time - both have claims among the chasing pack. Elsass's upward curve is also worth noting, but Claymore's blend of proven class and fitness makes him our selection.
Racing Post pick: Claymore
