Verdict
Clem A continued his good progress when narrowly beating Ballylemon at Bath and may not have finished improving yet. But GERANIUM bounced back to form with a convincing success over course and distance last month and Hughie Morrison’s mare looks worth sticking with. Andaleep was demoted to second for bumping a rival having passed the post first over track and trip last time and is 4lb higher today while Gas Monkey and Millions Memories went close over 1m4f at Newbury and Salisbury respectively on their latest starts.
