M R Bosley
Unplaced in both NH starts. Well beaten at 150-1 behind Baby Shine when 15th of 16 on her latest outing in a NH flat race at Huntingdon over 2m (good to soft) in February last year. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Mrs P Robeson.
CLARION CALL was beaten at odds-on at Newton Abbot when swept aside by Cabimas but the pair were way clear of the remainder and that form looks good enough here. Previously, Evan Williams' charge went down narrowly to Kian's Delight at Ffos Las and this represents an attractive opening for the four-year-old. Butler, a fair Flat performer for the Luca Cumani team, shaped well enough last time to figure, whilst the Jonjo O'Neill-trained newcomer, American Legend, obviously necessitates close market inspection.
