Formscan  - CLOCH NUA put his defeat at Southwell behind him when regaining the winning thread over 1m here earlier this month. Stella Barclay's gelding scored with enough in hand to suggest that a 4lb higher mark is surmountable and reverting to 7f may not be enough to prevent another triumph. Bomb Squad is 1lb lower than his C&D third last time and the seven-year-old is feared most, ahead of Saisons D'Or.
