Racing Post verdict
Third-partyGeneral Clermont heads this 19-runner field at Sligo on good ground over the extended two-and-a-quarter miles, rated narrowly ahead of Ripsnorter and seven pounds clear of Go To Town, with Justicialism also in the mix as a potential spoiler. The step up to 18 furlongs looks tailor-made for a horse of General Clermont's profile, and the confidence behind the selection is high. Ripsnorter and Go To Town will push hardest to close the gap, while Justicialism cannot be entirely dismissed in a wide-open 19-runner contest. **General Clermont** is our selection.
