Verdict
TOP CLOUD won a Flat race at Alnwick in February and appears potentially to be a useful recruit to the Chris Grant team now hurdling. Milldam sets the standard from a ratings perspective and should strip fitter for a reappearance at Fakenham while Bingoo got off the mark at Hexham on his third try in bumpers and must be respected accordingly. Ring Pretender does have a little to prove on the formbook but the Coltherd stable are in cracking form and it would be no surprise to see her take a hand.
