Useful 7-time Flat winner for David Brown and off the mark in this sphere at the eleventh attempt at Newton Abbot (3¼m) last month. Creditable third back there since.

Just modest form to date, failing to improve for a switch to handicap company when fifth over 2½m at Uttoxeter 7 weeks ago. Steps up in trip again now. Still early days for a good stable.

Still a maiden under both codes but he did go close in 3¼m Fontwell handicap hurdle 12 days ago. Raised 4 lb but still looks on a competitive mark.

Reached the frame in a couple of handicaps this summer but ran no sort of race at Southwell earlier this month. Hard to be too positive after that.

Forecasts

Top Cloud (10/11), Stiletto (7/4), Ben Lilly (7/2), Punches Cross (9/2), West Orchard (9/2), Let It Shine (10/1), Just A Mystery (10/1), Cherry Cola (10/1)

Verdict

TOP CLOUD has returned a much improved performer for new trainer Robbie Llewellyn and can complete a hat-trick inside 10 days. Stiletto was well clear of the rest when narrowly denied at Fontwell recently and can give the selection most to do ahead of Ben Lilly.
