A couple of these returned beaten favourites last time. LADY CLEMENTINE was caught close home over a mile here when attempting to make all and gets another chance back over today’s trip and fitted with a hood. Sunset And Vine has gone close in both starts at Newcastle and is another to consider while Noya and Star Zinc are others fancied to improve. Doux Esprit cost a whopping 320,000gns as a yearling and Albert Bridge is another newcomer to note.
