Verdict
Okavango Delta won over track and trip in November and is only 4lb higher. Nora The Xplorer won a couple of times last year but is better over further. CLEAR WHITE LIGHT ran a nice race having a first start for new connections at Wetherby. He has plenty of scope over this trip and Brian Hughes is a significant jockey booking. Fringill Dike has gone off the boil, along with Vintage Fizz, but Sporting Mike looks a threat to all having narrowly failed to follow up a Southwell victory when second at Wetherby and Maclaine, Tommy Cullen and Anti Bridgie are all improving and unexposed types tackling handicap company for the first time.
