CLOUDY GLEN didn't realise his full potential last winter (shaped much better than result several times) but seems set to make up for lost time judging by his impressive winning return over a new trip at Fontwell 3 weeks ago. Classic Ben made a positive comeback at Exeter and is worth another go at this trip, so rates the main threat. Crosspark makes most appeal of the remaining veterans.
