INTO THE LIGHT makes more appeal than Invasian whilst we'll be keeping a close eye on No Supper. The last named didn't make an auspicious start to his career on the all-weather but he's done well enough over hurdles in the interim to be wary of at this level. Invasian is the pick at the weights and proved his wellbeing with a decisive success at Yarmouth on Tuesday so has to be feared at this level. Into The Light responded quite well to blinkers when going close in a course and distance handicap; form which entitles him to go very close in this company providing that a visor is equally effective. Agente Romano could have a say in this affair, Nawamees can never be ignored and won last year's renewal whislt Promise Maker went close last time and represents a shrewd team. The remainder have plenty to do at the weights and can be found easier opportunities than this in which to make their mark; Into The Light can make the best of his way home.
