A few interesting sorts here none more so than the quirky Cloudy Glen who often plays up at the start which cost him his usual front-running role at Sandown last time over 3m. He still ran a fine race to prove second and if he jumps away here he’ll be a contender. The resurgent SPRINGTOWN LAKE gets the nod though having found this level and a smaller field more to his liking last time. Storm Control has to bounce back after disappointing last time and this may prove tough enough again fir him while Sir Ivan figures on a handy mark if he can keep upright back over fences. Dan Skelton won this in 2018 and runs three with Shannon Bridge looking the pick as long as his wind op continues to work.
