Newbury target for Claymore

OLIVER Sherwood’s Claymore is on target for Saturday’s valuable Vodafone Gold Cup Handicap at Newbury on Saturday.

The race has attracted a high-class field despite being in close proximity to the highlight of the National Hunt season, the Cheltenham Festival.

And Claymore, the general 8-1 co-favourite of three, is well suited to the demands of the race, according to Sherwood.
