Placed in three bumpers, Milano Supremo was pulled up on his hurdling bow at this track and stablemate Tower is preferred after his modest fifth at Hexham on his first start over timber. Touz Master ran well for a long way on his debut over hurdles at Market Rasen and will strip fitter here, but the vote goes to SOUS MIX. He would have finished second but for a blunder at the last at Bangor last week but will have benefited from the experience - Mick Easterby's charge can take this. Irish raider Oscar Barton looked a little one-paced on his debut but should improve.
