In depth
Verdict
This should prove a stroll for the veteran CLOUDY LANE, who invariably competed at a very high level in his heyday and gained his last success in the 2009 Peter Marsh at Haydock. A recent run at Newbury will have put him straight and he should have no problems here. Special Portrait scored between the flags last month so fitness won't be a concern but it may be a problem for Inverlochy Lad, who hasn't raced since pulling up at Fairyhouse almost two years ago.
