Formscan - CLOVIS ISLAND struck in workmanlike fashion over 2m4f at Hexham 16 days ago and the six-year-old, who is a half-brother to Grade 1 winner Inthepocket, is fancied to relish the switch to handicaps, while a step up in trip looks to be a further positive. Although Artic Mann hasn't been the most prolific, he will have no issue with conditions and should give a good account of himself. Enemy At The Gate seeks a first career success, but recent performances would suggest it is not far away.
