    Verdict

    Sure to be plenty of pace on here and this is quite a competitive heat for the grade. Czar Wars, Best Lead and Arrogant prince all still have a race of this nature within them and have to be placed on the shortlist. However, it may be worth chancing Cloudless, who is still unexposed at this trip and James Unett's charge edges a narrow vote this afternoon. The four-year-old found things happening a little too quickly when she failed to get competitive under a penalty over the minimum trip here on New Year's Eve but was just beginning to get on terms when the race was all over. The extra furlong should help her today and the fact that she doesn't have too far to travel will always be a bonus for a filly to ensure she is settled in the preliminaries. Simon Whitworth is also a positive jockey booking for the Cloudless and she should make a bold bid to increase her profile at this course.
