        Verdict

        STORY OF LIGHT landed the odds over at Chelmsford on his return from a lay-off when giving the impression this extra distance will suit. Charlie Appleby’s charge can defy a penalty with more to come. Harrison Point made a promising start when narrowly beaten at Kempton back in August though the form hasn’t worked out and Shoot The Moon is preferred fitted with headgear after a modest debut at Yarmouth. Top Secret is a half-brother to a Group 2 winner in Hong Kong among others and preferred to both Magnificat and Kalimotxo of the newcomers.
