      Verdict

      CLAMPDOWN came good at Kempton a week ago when scoring by over three lengths. He can shrug off a penalty in this with a fitness advantage over Three Gracez. The latter made a winning start in handicaps at Wolverhampton in October and is 7lb higher on her reappearance while Jet Mate was well beaten at Kempton last time having won a plating race before that. My Strategy never threatened in maiden races last year but may do better now handicapping for the first time with Louis Steward's allowance helping her cause.
