      Verdict

      Mystical Clouds won by 14 lengths at Bangor last month, though was getting 21lb from the runner-up. He was a long odds-on shot at Uttoxeter subsequently but fell when in the lead two out and faces no easy task here conceding 6lb to SEVEN DE BAUNE (NAP), an impressive bumper winner in the spring who just looked in need of the experience when sixth at Cheltenham on his hurdles bow. Dancing Doug had every chance when falling at Worcester last month and should be winning soon but could be up against a couple of above-average novices in this.
