Verdict
Muse Of Fire returned from exactly a year on the sidelines to finish second at Warwick. Moore Clouds has only found one too good the last twice while Kelso runner-up North Parade promises to make a better chaser than hurdler but SNOWY CLOUDS (NAP) was only headed on the run-in here in November after winning at Market Rasen and he’ll take some pegging back today.
