235 Aintree

Cloudy Dream 11/4 PP

Thought the betting would be closer between the top two here so Cloudy Dream becomes a value bet at around 11/4. Only 4 runners rock up for this valuable prize and it would be fitting if Trevor Hemmings won the race named after his beloved Many Clouds.

No room for sentiment in betting but I do think Cloudy Dream was unlucky here first time out where a mistake at the last cost him his chance, we can ignore his run last time as he wasn't even supposed to be in that race after being declared by error, he did well to finish second again as it turned out but 3 miles has been the plan and looks to have Definitely Red to beat who was 3rd in the Charlie Hall last time and may just need a stiffer track.
