SOMEWHAT CLOUDY has a good future if she can live up to her excellent pedigree so gets the nod here to make a winning start. Gavin Cromwell's newcomer Derrylinda is another who catches the eye on paper so can have a say too, with Fame And Glory mare Fist Pumping Time not taken lightly either, especially if the market speaks in her favour.
