Verdict

Cloud Creeper ran well in a Listed handicap at Market Rasen a couple of weeks ago, even though he is looking high enough in the weights at present - he may do better under these race conditions. Irish Cavalier won at the Cheltenham Festival in March and twice ran well at the Punchestown Festival later. Seventh Sky was very consistent in his first season over fences and Art Mauresque won three times in the spring, though is upped in class for this. HENRYVILLE was left alone at the second fence in a match at Fontwell last week and only had an exercise gallop. This is a big step up but he developed into a very useful staying hurdler last season and could taken advantage of his hefty weight allowance in this. Shantou Magic has won three of his six races over fences but has also failed to complete twice and his jumping will be tested by these.
