Our view
Best selection: Veil of Clouds. a – today's going, trip and track suit what it has shown before; 39 days since its last run, a sensible gap; trainer Simon & Ed Crisford has had 52 winners from 273 runners in our recent records.
The case against: Space Bear is close on the numbers; handicap marks are meant to level the field; we can't yet confirm how it handles standard / slow ground from our own records.
Others to consider: Space Bear and Bintaryana.
