In depth

Verdict

CLEMENT has been raised 11lb as he bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins but still looked to have plenty in the tank when romping home by five lengths here a week ago. He's worth sticking with in this. Mercury has a bit to find with the selection on collateral form but Etaad may prove a bigger threat having won over a mile here last time with Pyroclastic back in third. Polar Kite has been thereabouts of late while For Shia And Lula is always capable of popping-up off his current mark.
