Cloudbuster

8st 9lb

J: Jack Callan

T: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole

Mainly consistent last year, including a win in a Chepstow maiden (6f, good), and her final effort can be forgiven on account of the draw; has to overcome a 230-day absence, though, and she has the outside stall.

Proving consistent and is better off with Carefree Dream on Bath nursery running last time; however, along with that rival she's going into unknown territory on first run beyond 6f.

Soft ground will be a first but she was well on top in a 6f maiden at Chepstow a month ago (good) and that was her best form yet; doesn't look handicapped out of contention off this mark, especially with Elizabeth Gale taking off 5lb.

Promising second on Wolverhampton debut (5f, AW) and she built on that when filling the same position behind an odds-on rival at Catterick (5f, good to soft) last month; pulled a long way clear of the third in that race and she's open to more progress on this step up in trip; respected.

Well held in the end on her Chester debut but she was drawn wide, lost a shoe and didn't see it out over 5.5f; didn't build on that at Catterick but she showed plenty of pace and may not have been suited by the slow ground; still early days and she's a key player on her initial form.
