Verdict
There's not much form to go at for this bumper and while it's not a race to go crazy about newcomer PAINT THE CLOUDS should take all the beating if doing justice to his pedigree while fellow newcomer Janie's Encore is entitled to go well first time out and Sunarri is given a chance after a solid debut. The selection has a decent mix of flat and jumps breeding and is closely related to several winners including the high class flat performer Hadeer whose influence should see this one to victory without obstacles to jump Malcolm Jefferson sends out Janies Encore for a debut. This filly also has plenty of winning relations both on the flat and over jumps but not to the standard of the selection. Sunarri shaped well on debut when half way down a 10 runner field and he should do better this time while White Smoke is given place claims on his pedigree. As always the market will guide us further with so little form at our disposal but without it Paint The Clouds looks the percentage call.
