In depth
Verdict
Cloudy Dream won at Hexham in April and should make a bold bid to defy his penalty. Kalondra showed ability in point-to-points as did Still Together, who was third on his debut under Rules at Worcester. Newcomers Groundunderrepair and FINAL FLING are both by Milan. The former is a half-brother to a winning hurdler but the latter is a full brother to a Chepstow bumper winner and also from a yard that does well in these events so he gets the nod.
