Olly Murphy's WESTERN CLOUDS shaped well when fourth on her recent hurdling bow at Worcester and can take a sizeable step forward over this longer distance to get off the mark. Winning Irish pointer Captain Cool could emerge as the main danger starting out in this sphere, with Bishop Hill and Georgie's Malt also in the picture.
