NORSE LIGHT alternates between hurdles and fences but would probably be the one to beat if repeating his latest run at Market Rasen where he chased home Timeforwest, who runs earlier. Presenting Berkley has produced a couple of decent efforts on good ground and with Richard Johnson on board again he should make a bold bid with conditions in his favour. Winning bumper En Joune has been well supported over hurdles but shown little while Pass On The Mantle, a winner at Market Rasen at this time last year, showed nothing in two subsequent starts.
