Vintage Clouds has been placed in both starts in bumpers including a second at Sedgefield last time but has to give plenty of weight to the four-year-old RINNCA FADA. David Pipe's charge made a promising debut at Exeter and can land this with normal improvement. Newcomers to note include Uncle Monty and Mr K while Bollin Ace makes more appeal than stablemate Manhattan Transfer.
