Arctic Light is penalised for his bumper victory though has shown nothing in two starts over timber but Golden Poet, another bumper winner, has performed with credit in both runs over hurdles though has yet to face ground this soft. GIANT SPIRIT hasn't made the expected progress since runner-up to Let's Dance at Sligo in May but faces moderate opposition here and should be good enough to get off the mark. La Bella Vida ran quite well over the course and distance in January so it was a surprise to see her back in a bumper on a return visit where she ran poorly.
