All of these have won around here at one time or another. Venetian Lad is bidding for his seventh course victory and is coming down the weights again. Goring Two wasn't winning out of turn at Plumpton last month while Agincourt Reef and Matrow's Lady also make some appeal. CLOUDY BEACH was making his chasing debut following a lay-off when well beaten at Sandown in December but he'll have learned plenty that day and, sure to strip fitter here, could be interesting with Charlie Deutsch taking off a valuable 5lb.
