FormscanBy Tom Weekes - CRACKING CLOUD has shown fair form and can land this ordinary maiden. Out of a Ribblesdale Stakes-winner, the selection showed promise on his Gowran debut before disappointing at Ballinrobe. He ran satisfactorily, again at Gowran, earlier this month and is race-fit. Catherine Magennis finished a well-held seventh behind the selection in April but being a half-sister to two blacktype performers, can progress. Steel Cut is rated 80 and contested a useful Down Royal maiden recently but is now tried in blinkers. Ashikita showed promise on her first start following a layoff at the Curragh while Black Heather was placed on her only previous Flat start but is long-absent.
For four years old and upwards, maidens at startingWeights - 9st 9lbs. Fillies allowed 5lbs.
