NORSE LIGHT only gave best close home when third to Second Step at Newbury last month. The fourth, Kings Fete, won at Sandown just over a week ago so the form has a solid look about it and he has more scope than Mabdhool, only beaten a length in a handicap on the Polytrack earlier this month but pretty much exposed. Cape Victoria is from the same family as the smart Passing Glance and could easily take a hand in the finish as En Reve and Magic Magnolia appear to have little to recommend them.
