In depth

Verdict

Island Cloud beat a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton but is upped a grade for this and so is Seprani, who was runner-up over 6f at the same track last time. But HEDGING has been raised 3lb for winning in this grade at Brighton and can effectively race off a lower mark with an apprentice’s allowance taken into consideration. He can go in again while Dark Alliance had been in good form before a poor effort at Kempton last time and Del Parco should be winning this year.
