Thahab Ifraj won over a shorter trip here a year ago and has run well on the Flat since last seen over timber. Twice a winner on the level at the start of the summer, Bashful Boy made a successful return to jumping at Newton Abbot when beating The Height Of Fame 10 lengths with the latter only fourth behind Watergrange Jack at Worcester subsequently. NAME IN LIGHTS is still on a decent mark judged on his latest third in a Class 2 at Newton Abbot so gets the nod, though Uggy Uggy Uggy is on an upward curve and Irish Prophecy is well treated on his chase form.
