runner up on four occasions.

it.

prevail at Worcester today.

Other than Kirbys Glen, Clever d**k might also manage to make a solid impression in the race. He has got a lot of talent and his stamina will definitely be useful today. However, his strike rate is not on the positive side, as he has just managed to
win on race out of nine attempts.
