Commentary

Positive start for Charlie Clover on Flat this summer, confirming recent promise when landing 13-runner classified contest at Lingfield (1½m) in July, overcoming a wide trip and showing a good attitude to edge ahead near line. Switched yards (6,500 gns) ahead of hurdles bow and betting can guide.
