Cloudy Beach won at Fontwell last month but couldn't cope off his new mark at Bangor 10 days ago. More interesting is Supreme Bob, who beat a subsequent winner at Ffos Las on his latest start but is the most exposed of these. GOLDEN MILAN is useful when in the mood and it may be worth taking the chance that Rebecca Curtis' charge is on a going day as he has the scope to make a better chaser than hurdler having already been placed in a point-to-point. In The Hold struggled over hurdles and is probably best watched making his debut over the larger obstacles.
