CRIMSON CLOUD may be able to improve past the likes of Khaleeji, Blowing Bubbles and Silver Ocean and shed her maiden tag. It would certainly be a valuable success for the half-sister to the smart Corrybrough and she appears to have the scope to land a race of this nature having taken a big step forwards from debut when runner-up at Catterick. Khaleeji finished one spot in front of Blowing Bubbles on his second start and the third didn't really improve on that run when fourth at Kempton but Brian Meehan has a good record here and both runners have claims again whilst Silver Ocean has gone close the last twice and should have a say in the outcome. Spin Cast may improve for the fitting of a visor whilst John Best has a decent strike rate here with his youngsters so any support for Saubestre should be noted.
