Verdict

TOP CLOUD took a big step forward on his first run for Robbie Llewellyn when going in at Stratford and is weighted to follow up off a 4 lb lower mark here. Samatian has won off a break so is next on the list on his seasonal return ahead of the lightly raced Nickelforce.

  1. TOP CLOUD
  2. SAMATIAN (IRE)
  3. NICKELFORCE (IRE)
