9/4
Won in this grade at Newbury earlier in the season and his run behind Whisper at Cheltenham now looks very good. Arrives on the back on another confidence-boosting Exeter success and if producing his best he will be in the mix.

11/4
6L second to Altior in the Arkle and improved on that at Aintree, but again found one too good in Flying Angel, who outstayed him on the run-in to win by 1L off level weights. Looks a leading player again and could not begrudge him a big win.

7/4
Well beaten in the JLT at Cheltenham, but returned to form in no uncertain terms with his 1L defeat of Cloudy Dream over this trip in an Aintree Grade One last time. On the same terms today he is the one they all have to beat.

Looked progressive when scoring twice at Wetherby over a similar trip earlier in the season, though never able to go the pace when sent off favourite in a Newbury Grade Three last time. Looks to have to much to find in this high class field.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-4| J: J McGrath| T: N J Henderson| OR:  148
8/1
Scheduled to run on Friday. Emerging as a top handicapper judged on recent Festival efforts in defeat. This is a fair bit tougher, although he does receive weight, but would be a slight surprise if he proved good enough to lower the colours of the top three.

Forecasts

Flying Angel (7/4), Clan Des Obeaux (9/4), Cloudy Dream (11/4), Theinval (8/1), Oldgrangewood (14/1)

Verdict

A cracking small field assembled for this and Flying Angel is very much the one to beat on the evidence of his Aintree win last time. However, consistency is not his strong point and CLOUDY DREAM has that in abundance. It would be harsh to knock him for either of his runner-up efforts in Grade Ones of late and he might just be able to reverse the form with his Aintree conqueror. Clan Des Obeaux is the obvious danger to the pair of them and is not ruled out.
  1. Cloudy Dream
  2. Clan Des Obeaux
  3. Flying Angel
