Verdict
The strong pace forecast won't hinder the chances of DAPPLED LIGHT who arrives on the back of a career-best performance when winning at Chepstow. He can defy a penalty at the expense of King of Speed, who travelled as well as any when placed here on his penultimate run, while Waleyfa could feature if racing more efficiently than she did last time.

VerdictLooked better the further she went winning over C&D earlier this month. Ran at least as well in defeat over a longer trip when second of 4 in handicap (7/2) at this course (10.2f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Should remain competitive back over a mile.- 2.

VerdictLatest win at Wolverhampton in February. Travelled as well as any when placed here on penultimate start and did enough to suggest he was still in form when sixth of 7 in handicap (11/2) at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 27 days ago, slowly away and never threatened. Respected. - 4. WaleyfaJ: Jim CrowleyT: Daniel & Claire KublerF: 81213-436
