CLOUDY GLEN (NAP) won’t be much of a price in this as he made all and never looked like being caught over this trip at Haydock on his reappearance. That was a conditionals’ race so he escapes a penalty and is technically a pound lower today with talented Hugh Nugent able to claim the full 7lb. The four-year-old Caswell Bay was beaten out of sight by Torpillo when second at Sandown but the winner won easily again at that track on Saturday. Chloe's Court was making headway when falling at Fontwell while this represents a drop in class for Friday Night Light and better is expected from David Pipe’s charge. Landofsmiles may also have each-way claims.
