Verdict

Running Cloud was beaten less than a length at Kempton last month and can confirm running with Ilhabela Fact. Tiar Na Nog will be sharper for a recent comeback but remains 6lb higher than when successful over track and trip last summer. Victory Chime ended last season with a victory at Kempton and is 4lb higher on his return while PERSIAN SUN (NAP) makes his handicap debut after scoring at Newcastle in December. Simon Crisford’s charge has the most scope of these and a bold bid is expected from him.
