In depth

Verdict

Gonalston Cloud should go well again having won at Wetherby last month but Return Flight’s recent placed effort came in a bumper and he remains 6lb higher than when landing a chase at Uttoxeter last year. But Wolf Sword is back on a winning mark and gave notice of a big run here with last week’s second at Carlisle. However, HUFF AND PUFF was having his first start for over a year when scoring at Hereford recently so it’s reasonable to expect improvement from Venetia William’s charge today and he gets the nod raised only 2lb.
