Verdict
WALKING ON CLOUDS, who showed potential last season, returned after a long break to score over the course and distance last month here he got up close home to deny Cherry Bloom. The winner is 3lb worse off but the latter had a fitness advantage so the positions can be confirmed. Super Cub, a winner for Roger Varian in the UK, was staying on over the minimum at Navan and should be winning soon for new connections while Areille has been looking high in the ratings after her Sligo maiden success so a 4lb drop will be welcome. Jupiter Express could only finish sixth in a Cork maiden on Wednesday.
