Verdict
CLOUDEA showed promise on debut at Pontefract and built on that dropped back to 5f here last month, making all and pulling clear in the closing stages. It will be a surprise if the grey can’t defy a penalty in this, despite an outside draw. Rose Bandit possibly didn’t stay 6f at Hamilton on Saturday but is turned out again soon enough. Ruby Wonder was second twice at Beverley in the spring before finishing last in a Listed race at York but might just need this. Hot Affair showed good speed at Sandown before weakening but needs to grow into her frame.
