Sidewinder went close in a handicap over 7f at Wolverhampton last month but Fear The Fury was last of five on his handicap debut at the same track. Know Your Limit was placed at Windsor on his return but Muqaatil never figured on the all-weather last time and a chance is taken on CLOUD DRAGON. The lattter won a maiden over today’s trip at Lingfield in February when narrowly beating a subsequent winner and Hugo Palmer’s charge may prove good enough in this.
