Clouding Over gets the confident vote here with Little Flora and Parisienne Gale rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair sort over hurdles will relish the ground is sure to have been well schooled for this her chasing debut and in what looks a poor race she will be hard to beat. Little Flora rates the main danger as she is another that will relish the ground but she was let down by her jumping last time out so can not be put forward with any confidence. Parisienne Gale has been in good from of late and is another with place claims but this is her toughest assignment to date and she will do well to give weight and a beating to some less exposed types. The remainder have shown very little and are readily opposed and for the winner we return to Clouding Over.
