DARYL CLARK marked his 400th career appearance with a try as St Helens dispatched Wakefield for the third time this season to restore their place in the top four.

Wakefield, unusually lacklustre as they suffered their biggest defeat of the season, have now put the race for the final play-off spot back in the hands of Hull FC.
