In depth
Verdict
Never gets the confident vote to win this with Low Cloud and Your Advantage rating the main dangers. The selection has experience over the larger obstacles and was a fair second in this grade when last seen behind River Pirate. That form sets the standard in the context of this race and he need only run up to that mark to score. Low Cloud rates the main danger on his best hurdles form. He is sure to have been well schooled for this his chasing debut and he should be noted in the market. Your Advantage is another with place claims on his latest second behind Tribal Dispute but all his best form is on a softer surface and for that reason he is opposed. Saddler's Quest is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he often has problems with his jumping. Of the remainder True Mariner has the ability to go close but may just need the run after a 195 day absence and for the winner we return to Never.
