Verdict

Plenty in with a shout in this big-field handicap, including CLEAR THE CLOUDS. He's displayed race-by-race progress in handicaps, keeping on for second at Punchestown 4 weeks ago and, with his rider's handy claim off-setting his subsequent weight rise, he could be the way to go with the prospect of more to come. Waittillitellyou, Positive Thinker and Tomjackwilliam head up the dangers.
