Autonomous Cloud is improving with experience and was third, clear of the remainder, behind a couple of useful novices at Wetherby last month but SUPER SURVIVOR has even more scope after clearing away from a previous winner at Doncaster on his debut under Rules and Jamie Snowden’s gelding can defy his penalty. Pimlico Point has won a point and placed in a bumper so a first run over hurdles is a natural progression but he may do better next season.
