Francesco Clemente⁶⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 99| D

2/7

Dubawi colt who looks the part and duly overcame signs of inexperience to make a winning debut in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket (1m). Landed the odds with a bit in hand when beating a useful 7-y-o at Sandown 9 weeks ago and rates a smart prospect.

Menai Bridge¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Davies⁽⁵⁾| T: C Hills| OR: 86| D

12/1

Five wins from 19 Flat runs. Latest win at Lingfield in February. Held form well since, fourth of 7 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Harry Davies takes off 5 lb here so could well figure.

Miramichi⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽³⁾| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 84| D

13/2

Racked up a 4-timer last summer. Good placed efforts at Newbury last 3 starts and drop back to 10f will suit.

Form: 4-46323

Love Is Golden^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 84

8/1

Fourteen runs since last win and was down the field at Haydock last time. This less competitive at least and back on a winning mark.

FRANCESCO CLEMENTE had a bit in hand when beating subsequent Royal Ascot winner Secret State in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket and defied a penalty in similar fashion up against a useful older horse at Sandown. His upcoming entries indicate the high regard in which he's held and he can complete the hat-trick up against 3 reliable but somewhat exposed 4-y-os on handicap bow. Love Is Golden can follow him home.
