Gometra Ginty won last year’s renewal but hasn’t scored since while Freyja is penalised for winning at Hamilton. Dawaaween is mostly consistent but remains 12lb higher than when scoring back in June and Nirodha is upped in class after going close at Thirsk. But Sir Michael Stoute has a fine strike rate here and LIGHTS ON will no doubt prove a popular choice on her handicap debut with Ryan Moore doing the steering having won a novices race at Newcastle last time.
