Only three of these have so far raced under Rules, St George's Oval probably faring best when fourth at Stratford in June even though Imperial Elixir was a hot favourite at Sedgefield in October. INVISIBLE CLOUDS has a strong jumping pedigree and is from a yard with a good strike rate in races like this. He can get the better of Net De Treve, second to a useful winner in a point at Inch back in April, and That's Life, a full brother to three winners though over longer trips than this. Kingsplace showed promise between the flags and is another worth a second look.
