16/1

8/15

Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Nov 13). Only fifth (despite going off 5/2) in bumper at Uttoxeter 6 months ago but could prove a different proposition switched to obstacles/upped in trip.

£35,000 5-y-o, Cloudings mare. Half-sister to modest hurdler Getaway Glenda, stays 19f. Dam unraced. Made frame both starts in points, runner-up latest (April 23). Interesting newcomer for yard among the winners.

Forecasts

Minella Double (8/15), Dangan Cloud (10/3), Mumford's Magic (11/2), Edgewell (16/1), Poetry Man (22/1), Fly Awhile Johnny (125/1)

Lucinda Russell has her string in excellent nick so her newcomer DANGAN CLOUD, who has shown promise in points, is taken to go in at the first time of asking at the chief expense of fellow newcomer Edgewell who should find this trip to his liking judged on his fair bumper efforts. Minella Double is another debutant who brings potential, while Warwick third Mumford's Magic needs factoring in too.
