In three runs here, Weybridge Light has yet to finish out of the frame. He only found Sendiym too good over course and distance two weeks ago and is sure to be thereabouts again. Decoy came back to form at Newton Abbot last month and is a rare runner here for David Pipe. But a 9lb rise in the weights looks harsh and Golden Future has no real form over this trip, though was a stayer on the Flat. NEXT HIGHT looked ready for a longer distance when third over 2m1f here last time so he gets the nod ahead of the Micky Hammond pair Amir Pasha and Danceintothelight and the maiden Perennial.
