Cleveleys has been generally progressive and is the clear form pick, though is having a first run away from Redcar and the form of his stable is a cause for concern. Victorious Night has gone backwards since a debut third at Kempton but this is easiest task to date. PRINCE OF PEARLS dropped out very tamely on his debut at Newcastle but Kevin Ryan’s gelding is bred to be much better than that and this won’t take much winning.
