The Last Cloud⁹²

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: B S Hughes| T: P Neville| OR: 117| CD

10/11

Lightly-raced hurdler who readily got off the mark in 11-runner maiden over C&D in May and big improvement to follow up on handicap debut with a bit in hand back here following month. Can complete the hat-trick.

Form: 632-11

Break Point²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 112| CD

3/1

Encouragement when a short-head second on his debut for Olly Murphy and duly built on that when going one better in C&D maiden last month. Needs considering on handicap debut in this sphere.

Form: 8U-21

Scriabin^t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Gregor Walkingshaw⁽¹⁰⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 107

6/1

Modest maiden on the Flat and similar form in this sphere for Patrick Griffin. Ran best race starting out for this yard when third of 13 to Break Point in novice hurdle at this C&D (good to firm) 23 days ago.

Form: 3P/206-3

Just Dottie²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Henry Brooke| T: R M Smith| OR: 106| BF| CD

22/1

4-time C&D winner, including back-to-back victories in April/May. Found good run of form coming to a halt here in July and was predictably outpaced in a 6f maiden on the Flat 3 weeks ago.

Form: 661-135

Pure Gold⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 95| D

7/1

Not been with current yard long and off the mark in this sphere with a career-best win at Uttoxeter 6 weeks ago. Not taken lightly up 7 lb.

Form: 53-P441

Forecasts

The Last Cloud (10/11), Break Point (3/1), Scriabin (6/1), Pure Gold (7/1), Just Dottie (22/1)

THE LAST CLOUD looks to be improving fast and the way he overcame his opening mark last time suggests he can complete a C&D hat-trick. Break Point has made a positive start for Olly Murphy and rates the main threat.
