CLOCKMAKER (2) broke through for his maiden win over 2900m at Doncaster last time. Shaping up nicely and a bold showing is expected. KINGDOM OF STARS (5) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 3200m at Kempton Park All Weather, beaten half a length after being in contention on the corner. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to figure in the finish. MAXIDENT (3) lines up for the first time since October 4. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 3200m at Ripon. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. DANCINGWITHMYSELF (1) hit the frame two starts ago at Kempton Park All Weather but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 5.5 lengths over 2420m at Goodwood. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
