Verdict
Mr Orange is a real course specialist having won here six times including on fast ground last month. He didn't run badly on softer going at Thirsk next time and is greatly respected. Ey Up Its Mick has won three times, all on ground with some give, so any rain will be welcome while Lady Nectar failed in her hat-trick bid on soft going at Catterick and is up another 3lb. CLOUDEA is interesting having only run four times. She easily won a Ripon maiden last July and was returning from over a year off when running well over the minimum trip on soft ground at Haydock. With that under her belt she can start making up for lost time though Alminoor, who scored over 5f here in April last year, made an excellent comeback at Southwell last month so should get competitive.
