Verdict

Reach The Clouds has to shoulder top-weight but could be up to the task, Up The Pub and Denarius Secundus appear to be the main rivals. John Upson's old-timer still has plenty of a bility as he displayed when a close up third behind Tipp Top on similar ground at Fakenham. He is now back down to his last winning mark and should make a bold bid. Up THe Pub has come up against a couple of well treated types recently and with ground and trip in his favour today he will be difficult to keep out of the money. Meanwhile Denarius Secundus showed his best form for a while when chasing home Foxmeade Dancer, another big effort can be expected. Levallois is going the right way and looks the pick of the others, but Reach For Glory still looks capable of winning races and can take the honours this afternoon.
