FRANCESCO CLEMENTE has a ten-month absence to overcome but this imposing Dubawi colt looked a very good prospect when going unbeaten in three runs and is fancied to return in style before tackling better company. King of Conquest is another with better days ahead of him and rates the chief threat in his bid for a four-timer. El Drama also has the form to play a part in an intriguing listed contest.
