PAINT THE CLOUDS has successfully made the move from distances of around three miles to races that exceed this trip.
He has picked up a Stratford and a Doncaster Foxhunters by wide margins this season and is well fancied to triumph in the highly regarded Cheltenham equivalent.
The 10-year-old had four outings at this course as a hurdler, two of these runs ending in with victory. This consistent horse is yet to taste defeat chasing and, always prominently ridden, should be the sort that relishes this race.
He’s not done very much wrong in his career as a whole and he looks to have been specifically laid out for this. Paint The Clouds commands the utmost respect.
