Verdict
Big Time Frank and Western Wave, the latter a jumps-bred son of Westerner, are definitely newcomers to note for any market support but LASER LIGHT has experience on his side and should prevail. Alan King's gelding only found one too good in a point-to-point at Boulta in November and his trainer looks to have found him an easy opening here.
