        Verdict

        Reach The Clouds, River Amora and Percipient are three against the field in this poor race and the tentative vote is given to Reach The Clouds. The selection is so well handicapped that he is hard to oppose under conditions that suit and although he has his own ideas about the game this is his best chance for some time and he is taken to score. River Amora rates the main danger he is another that is well weighted on his best form and ran as if about to hit his peak when fifth in a better race behind Get The Point so he should be noted in the market. Percipient is another worthy of respect now that he drops to his optimum trip. Of the remainder Imperative has the ability to go close but he refused last time out so can not be put forward with any confidence and for the winner we return to Reach Thee Clouds.
