Verdict
ERELIGHT has obvious claims having gone close when second in this lowly grade over track and trip last time with Piccolo Express and Bold Max further back. He gets the vote ahead of recent Southwell runner-up River Dreamer and Galilee Chapel. The latter made the frame at Ayr when last seen back in July and Cookie Ring was placed over 6f here three weeks ago, though without threatening the winner.
