Mudita Moment only just got the best of Sweet Boy Vic at Plumpton last time to land a double. But he's been raised a further 11lb so CLOUDINGSTAR makes more appeal here. The latter finished third in what looked a more competitive event at Haydock last time and Jonjo O'Neill's charge should make another bold bid off the same mark. Elegant Olive took advantage of a slide down the weights to score over track and trip in November so a 7lb rise could be her undoing and Bebinn may prove a bigger threat after a better effort at Towcester last time. Genstone Trail is out of sorts but has the past form to figure.
