FormscanBy Michael Graham - CLOUDY TUESDAY's third place in a maiden hunters' chase at Limerick puts him right in the frame for this assignment. For a 28/1 shot, he ran some race to chase home the odds-on favourite and second favourite. The runner-up in that race has since won well at Leopardstown on Monday. That was Cloudy Tuesday's first visit to a racecourse after five outings in point-to-points that yielded a victory in Dromahane and a couple of placings. There should be plenty more to come from this six-year-old. Enda Bolger's Saint Benedict is a major player. This Milan gelding has been runner-up in his last two maiden hunters' chases at Clonmel. He is on a recovery mission after being beaten at odds on last week. Startec could improve upon an opening fourth in a point-to-point at Boulta.
