Formscan  - CLOUDS HILL has found life tough in competitive handicaps of late, but may well bounce back in this lower grade. The son of Cracksman made all over 1m2f at Yarmouth back in April and could prove hard to catch over this shorter trip if allowed his own way in front. Best Rate has been in the mix over 7f and looks worthy of another try over this additional furlong, while Helm Rock is preferred to Chalk Mountain of the rest.
