Unison has returned to form with a vengeance this year and won twice over hurdles before landing a course and distance double last month. He’s beaten Outback Ruler and Justice Lass in the process but has an 8lb hike to contend with today and CLOUDBERRY (NAP) is preferred. The latter followed a maiden success with victory in an apprentices’ handicap at Kempton where he beat Mister Music - he escapes a penalty for this. Red Tea came up short at Windsor attempting to land a hat-trick while Rahmah’s recent short-head defeat came over a longer trip.
