Verdict
Several are old foes and Walking On Clouds beat Alafdhal when scoring at Southwell while Intervention reversed earlier running with the former when going close on his latest start. All three drop down in distance today but POCKLEY ran well in a higher class sprint over track and trip last week and gets another chance with an apprentice back on board and taking 5lb off his back. Dandy Dinmont won here in October and is preferred of those returning to action.
