In depth
Verdict
Jaxlight has finished second at Stratford and Sedgefield recently but has been raised 7lb so looks worth opposing again. PATSIO’s climb up the ratings has been more gradual since he beat a subsequent winner at Ffos Las and David Brace’s in-form veteran can give the weight away to younger but more modest rivals here. Stormbay Bomber has a higher rating over fences but is having a first run over the smaller obstacles since 2015 and has been off the track since November.
