After a spell hunting, Beni Light hasn’t done a lot wrong since reverting to racing under Rules but he has to give 16lb to HEAVENLY PROMISE (NAP) taking into account riders’ claims. Fergal O’Brien’s mare never got out of second gear when cruising to victory under Conor Brace in a conditionals’ handicap at Sedgefield 12 days ago and escapes a penalty. Joly Maker won over fences at Southwell before beaten into third over hurdles at Wincanton and has place claims again while Carlo Rocks will be all the better for his run over 3m here last month, though has a poor strike-rate.
