Having created a good impression when off the mark at Chepstow, CLAN CHIEFTAIN hasn't fired on his last two starts, but he drops in grade and returns to a sound surface, so it's worth taking the chance that he can bounce back. Fellow 3yo Roaring Legend is also of interest and course-specialist Carrigillihy can't be ignored.
