CLIFFORDS REPRIEVE showed improved form on his Polytrack debut over C&D two weeks ago when headed at the post. He's taken to go one better and confirm running with Cloth Ears in the process. Francis Albert, Canadian Danehill and Argentine are all capable of landing this on their day, while Porthgwidden Beach registered her only win so far over C&D last month with Instructress a close-up third and a return to this track may bring about improvement. Steel City Boy's chance has been compromised by a wide draw.
