In depth
Verdict
Arty Campbell and Takbeer will both carry more than their allotted weight. Running Cloud likes to hear his hooves rattle but CLEARANCE handles most surfaces and Michael Blake has booked leading female amateur Serena Brotherton on the gelding’s first run for the yard. Sophie Smith has done well on Estrela Star and Ali Stronge’s charge is a big danger while Social City was second over 1m6f here last time. Olympic Honour won over hurdles in May but turned in a shocker last time.
