Verdict

Blushes won at Wolverhampton in March but never figured when favourite back at the same venue last time. LET THERE BE LIGHT is preferred on last week’s success over 7f here and Gay Kelleway's charge should go close again stepping up in trip despite carrying 6lb extra. Ashford Island won over 7f at Chelmsford in between his more usual modest efforts while Ettie Hart and Heads You Win remain open to further progress.
