Verdict

A reappearance third at Musselburgh will have blown any cobwebs away and Donald McCain's veteran CLOUDY LANE can take this if running anywhere near the form of last year's victory in the Fox Hunter's at Aintree. Cottage Oak had won a couple of point-to-points before scoring at Kelso last month with Benefit Night and Special Portrait behind but Current Exchange has more scope and won one of these events at Market Rasen earlier this month. Mister Teddy has claims on his second at Towcester but that was over a year ago and Bangor winner Classinaglass makes more appeal with a recent victory between the flags to his credit.
