FormscanBy Tom Weekes - CLIFFTOP is very closely matched with Watch The Weather on Wexford form last month but did win subsequently at Tramore and has obvious claims. The selection is a Flat winner who frustratingly failed to score over hurdles but his recent chase form is stronger and is suited by today's conditions. Watch The Weather is similarly suited by conditions and while he narrowly failed in a recent Downpatrick beginners chase, should again compete today. General Clermont was well enough held when reverting to hurdles at Killarney recently but two of his three wins have come over fences and should run well, despite being 9lb higher than when winning at Wexford in early August.
