Clement arrives with a 6lb penalty for last week's victory at Lingfield when stable companion FROZEN LAKE was unlucky in-running. The pair had earlier finished behind Coverham over the course and distance but a swing in the weights points to the selection being capable of reversing the form and taking this. Daring Guest won here in September and is only 3lb higher so has to be considered along with the lightly-raced Screaming Gemini, who looks the type to do better this campaign.
