CLAP YOUR HANDS is a confident choice in an interesting staying handicap. He absolutely bolted up over 1m4f here last week and is well in under his penalty, and with his good young rider's 5lb allowance negating that. If recovered from that Boxing Day romp he should go in again. Talented hurdler Nelson River is a fascinating contender and remains unexposed on the Flat. Any market move for him would well worth noting, while ex-Irish Flat To The Max showed promise here on his first British outing and also enters the equation. It's hard to know whether Iconic Belle's recent shock 80/1 second was a flash in the pan.
