Verdict
Vintage Clouds seeks a third course victory and was third in this race two years ago off today’s mark. He’s been a grand servant to connections and his stable also run Silva Eclipse, who could go well at a price from near the foot of the handicap. Sam's Adventure is 9lb higher than when landing this 12 months ago but later won the Eider at Newcastle and is a strong stayer, though prone to errors. REMASTERED was challenging the eventual winner and probably travelling best when falling four out in the Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury last month. He’s been left on the same mark and compensation awaits if confidence hasn’t been affected. Just Your Type looks to be back to his best and has each-way claims along with Ayr winner Buzz De Turcoing and Kelso winner Calipso Collonges.
