CLOUDLAM failed to land the odds when third over a mile at Kempton last month but a chance is taken that the Haggas-trained filly improves for this extra distance and she gets the vote in a weak-looking contest. Confederate has yet to threaten and failed to show any progress last time while Miss Crick is rated higher than Utility over hurdles as both debut on the Flat today. The rest are even harder to recommend so the newcomer Ramsbury won't need to be anything out of the ordinary to figure.
