In depth
Verdict
Kali, Cloud Dancer and She's Our Lass are the principles here and the vote is given to Cloud Dancer. Kali could give her the most to do as she ran well last time out when narrowly beaten by Mount Hillaby at Wolverhampton, and with this slight drop in trip in her favour she should go well. Cloud Dancer was only a neck behind our selection in that Wolverhampton race and she is weighted to reverse those placings here, and she should take plenty of beating. She's Our Lass ran okay on her return to the AW on this track last time, but she will need to improve on that effort to make the frame here. Darting would be interesting if she managed to see out this longer trip, but that seems doubtful, and for the winner we return to Cloud Dancer.
