CAERULEUM found Percy Veering too strong when first and second at Exeter last month but Caeruleum was making his chase debut that day so may be able to reverse the placings with a 5 lb swing in the weights. Haston Clermont was suited by the stamina test when off the mark at Lingfield and is best of the others.
