Winning bumper FLYING LIGHT has had plenty of chances over timber but his overall form, including when runner-up to Rock Critic at the Festival here, should be good enough for this moderate contest. Fairy Court has yet to win a race of any description and would almost certainly prefer a longer trip so Popmurphy looks the main threat. He was a useful performer on the Flat, mainly racing at pattern race level including when runner-up in a Listed event at the Curragh in 2010. He hasn't been seen since a reasonable debut over hurdles in January of last year but, if retaining his ability, could make a decent hurdler. Mrs Henderson may prove best of the remainder.
