In depth
Verdict
The only four-year-old in this, CLOUD THUNDER has been quite highly tried over hurdles and placed twice on the all-weather last year. He’s 0-10 but will probably never get a better chance to win a race. Remember The Man ran better than expected at Kempton last week but Everything For You was well below his best last year and has had wind surgery. A fair fourth over hurdles at Wincanton last month, Blazing Saddles looks the pick of the remainder.
