Light Burst opened his account at Wolverhampton last Friday but a penalty may well anchor him in this while Daffydowndilly is 5lb higher than last month's C&D victory. Conducting will be scoring soon off his current mark, however, having gone close at Kempton last time while Rapid Water was caught on the line at the same track on Saturday and he can also figure. ERMYN FLYER returns to this track for the first time since winning by four lengths over C&D in April and, off only a 2lb higher mark, Pat Phelan's filly gets the vote to go in again.
