Clondaw Knight is one who has been on my radar since he scored
on his chase debut at Kelso last season, although it’s only on his last two
starts that he’s fully confirmed that abundant promise, winning hard held at
Wetherby before an excellent second to Carole’s Destrier at Ascot. On both
occasions his jumping has been impeccable, and he simply did too much too soon
on the second occasion (also reported to have lost a shoe). The upside to that defeat was that the handicapper has
kept him on a mark of 140, which looks very workable. A straightforward ride,
he has yet to finish out of the places since switched to fences, and appeals as
the type to keep progressing now he’s come of age, while the booking of the experienced Corky Carroll is another plus. Victory would be an
emotional one for Lucinda Russell and owner Sandy Seymour, for whom this horse
is a replacement for the brilliant but ill-fated Brindisi Breeze.
