There's no doubt that Trip The Light is in decent form at the moment but now back to near his best MONFIS MONFIS is taken to land this Amateur Riders Handicap while Silent Lucidity could be a nice price for the places if fit enough after over a year out. After ending a four months losing streak last time out in good fashion the selection has found his mark go up by five pounds. The manner of the win in itself is enough to suggest that won't necessarily stop him especially has that win in March came off this rating. Trip The Light landed his third win since the turn of the year last time out and while it is feasible he could follow up now five pounds worse off ,it might just be too much to concede weight all around. Silent Lucidity was last seen 799 days ago when placed under a five pounds heavier burden. His maiden form puts him in the picture if stripping fit. Hurricane Thomas could also feature after a successful start last time but he has to overturn some form on Monfis Monfis who has our vote.
