A smart hurdler, CLIFFS OF DOVER landed a double on the Flat over today’s distance at Lingfield in March. There looks more to come from Paul Nicholl’s charge in this code and he gets the nod. The Way You Dance also won over 2m at Lingfield in May and was beaten less than a length over track and trip last month while Southwell regular Cousin Khee recorded a double on the Fibresand earlier in the year and went close again last time. Graceful Lady has a shout on recent form in staying races at Pontefract and Rainbow Rising can figure if lasting home on the back of a placed effort over 1m6f.
