Moore Clouds is having a first run since October but Durragh has been in good form recently, though couldn’t cope with a further 9lb rise when on a hat-trick at Bangor. Olympe De Gouges reverted to type at Musselburgh after springing a surprise at Doncaster so this can go to WHATCOLOURISTHEWIND, who has found some form lately at Fontwell and has travelled up from Wiltshire for this. Ince also has a squeak.
