Water Diviner sets the standard rated 79 but failed to land the odds over 7f here last week and the less exposed GASLIGHT is preferred having just missed out at Lingfield a fortnight ago. She can go one better today stretching out to a mile for the first time. Others to consider include Newcastle third Arms Of The Angel and Wolf Prince also made a promising start when runner-up at Thirsk. Canford Dancer showed improvement over 6f at Newbury last time while Limelighter faced a tough task at York last week having been narrowly beaten over 7f here on his debut.
