Verdict

Cloudy Glen struggled when upped in class off a 12lb higher mark at Ascot last time having landed a double before that. He’ll be more at home in this company and is preferred to Johnbb, who won a maiden hurdle at Ayr but was well beaten on his handicap debut at Sandown. HILL SIXTEEN shares ownership with Cloudy Glen and goes handicapping for the first time after winning a novices' race over track and trip. A chance is taken Sue Smith’s charge shows further improvement and he gets the vote with the remaining trio difficult to recommend.
