Cloch Nua - 17:20 Wolverhampton

Flag: Top Rated, Horse In Focus, Sectional

Cloch Nua had been going through a good spell and deservedly opened his account at Newcastle in October and he overcame a pace bias when following up over course and distance 11 days later. He was strong in the betting for his hat-trick attempt at Lingfield three weeks ago and was arguably unlucky not to come out on top, hemmed in just as the race was beginning to take shape and conceding first run on the winner as a result. Cloch Nua is 3 lb higher now but his finishing effort on the clock that day suggests he could rate even higher yet and looks a good bet to quickly resume winning ways.
