National objective as Cloudy team play waiting game

CONNECTIONS of Cloudy Lane will wait until the publication of the weights for the John Smith’s Grand National before deciding on the next race for Trevor Hemmings’ gelding.

The nine-year-old defied a mark of 155 when winning the Peter Marsh Chase at Haydock on Saturday for his fifth course success.

The world’s greatest steeplechase at Aintree on April 4, in which he was sixth last year, is again the principal objective and he is a best-priced 25-1.
