Verdict

A couple of these carry a penalty for recent wins. Guiding Light scored easily in soft ground at Chepstow last week and DEAR BRUIN (NAP) was returned a convincing winner at Lingfield with previous winner Potternello back in third. John Spearing's charge may edge this if the rain stays away. Pink Ribbon drops back to 7f on the back of a string of placed efforts while Goodwood winner El Fenix was beaten only a length at Wolverhampton off today's mark last time and is another to consider.
