Verdict

C&D winner GOLAN CLOUD has been very lightly raced in recent years but he stepped up on his reappearance effort when third in a Uttoxeter handicap in January and, having eased further in the weights, he could be the answer to this tricky puzzle. The returning Petite Rhapsody and low-mileage 7-y-o Marty Time are others fancied to be in the mix.

  1. GOLAN CLOUD (IRE)
  2. PETITE RHAPSODY (IRE)
  3. MARTY TIME (FR)
