Tracked leaders on inside, went 2nd 11th, challenged 2 out, ridden and no impression before last, kept on to close on tiring/idling winner towards finish, always held op 9/2
Cloudy Bob (1/1), Pembroke House (7/2), Vivaccio (7/2), Gun Shy (12/1), Huff And Puff (14/1)
Stable companions Huff And Puff and Vivaccio have solid claims, while Gun Shy should strip fitter for his recent run at Chepstow. Preference, though, is for CLOUDY BOB, who probably found heavy ground against him last time after his good win at Taunton. Pembroke House has a tough assignment from 3lb out of the handicap.
