Race preview

SANDALWOOD appeals most as he tries to go one place better than his good second at Plumpton when last seen. The gelding pulled hard in the early stages that day and, with the drop in trip likely to suit, he could be hard to beat. Clapton Hill is a possible improver with a first-time tongue-tie applied, while similar comments apply to Presenting Nelly, who has scope to progress on only her second outing over hurdles.
