Verdict
CRICKLEWOOD GREEN won over course and distance on his debut in 2013 and ran well at Goodwood last month. A repeat of that latest effort here would probably suffice as Manolito is getting no nearer shedding his maiden tag and Clement was engaged last night at Ffos Las. Pressure has each-way claims, however, and is preferred to the disappointing Mazaaher and the filly Mendacious Harpy.
