Mac's Power has been running well in lesser company and Valmina beat Glastonberry a short-head at Lingfield in January. Toymaker has been winning over longer distances at Wolverhampton but Light From Mars is preferred having gone close over track and trip on his penultimate start. Peace Seeker is dropped in class but remains 5lb higher than when last winning and Clear Praise is on a 10lb higher mark than his victory at Lingfield back in August. BAINNE was unfancied on his first start for Jeremy Gask and faded baldy in the closing stages. But that was his first start since August and a chance is taken he can add to last year's three wins in Ireland by taking this.
