This is tougher than the seller Al Meezan won over track and trip and Star Anise is penalised for also winning a plating race at Wolverhampton last week. El Campeon is upped 5lb after landing a double on the all-weather over shorter trips so the vote goes to FIELD OF LIGHT (NAP). The latter needs to step up on his handicap debut effort at Ripon but has more scope than most and gets the nod. Lunchalot and Grey Gem are not out of this either off their current marks.
