CLOUD ROCK holds an entry in the Group One Racing Post Trophy and if that ambition is to be fulfilled he should really be winning a race like this. Related to plenty of winners Peter Chapple-Hyam's colt should do fine over this trip on debut and seems to have been found a good opportunity to open his account. Kissing Clara is the bench mark but looks a bit of a near miss merchant so the well-related Skeleton should be a bigger danger with his sights set on a valuable Sales race later in the year. This maiden should produce some winners and Cloud Rock should be the first.
