Louis Vee stays this distance but has yet to win over 7f and he could only manage fourth at Chelmsford during the week. But EXALTED landed the odds over track and trip last time and he looks sure to make a bold bid for a hat-trick raised only 2lb. Clement is another recent course and distance winner but carries 6lb extra for Wednesday's win at the track while Blackthorn Stick found only one too good at Kempton last time but has been upped 4lb for his trouble.
