CLEAR MIND opened her account over 1m4f at Lingfield and has more scope than today's opposition. John Gosden's filly is preferred to Masterpaver, a runner-up over track and trip in a couple of similar events recently. Double Discount finished ahead of Jazz Master when second over course and distance last month while Almerzem won here on his penultimate start but is 9lb higher today. Sweetheart Abbey and Sweeping Up have scored over 1m4f on the Polytrack and Hoist The Colours will appreciate the drop back in trip having failed to stay 2m last time.
