WALKING ON CLOUDS escaped a penalty for an earlier win here and duly landed a double over 6f with his latest success. He’s gone close over this longer trip in the past and looks worth sticking with. Biplane drops back down in distance after placing over a mile here while Buraback has returned to a winning mark. Grey Belle, Ravenswing and Solar Prophet have all slid down the weights with the latter pair the least exposed.
