Clement is back on a winning mark and not out of this dropping down a grade. Viola Park has been in decent form and finished in front of Shamlan when runner-up at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start but the less-exposed ASTROSPEED gets another chance. A runner-up over track and trip and beaten less than a length at Lingfield in a couple of starts for James Fanshawe, he looks set to open his account today. More Salutes also has scope on only his second start handicapping but there’s plenty of dead wood among the remainder.
