Fast ground would be a concern for supporters of the three-year-old High On Light as both victories to date have been achieved on ground with some give. But she did win easily under Rachel Richardson at Thirsk and should make a bold bid to defy her penalty. Chauvelin also carries 6lb extra for winning a Beverley seller and NEUF DES COEURS (NAP) finished ahead of both him and Annigoni here last month. Iain Jardine's charge won off a higher mark over track and trip last year and can end his losing run. Neither Gabrial The Terror nor First Sargeant have been in the best of form lately.

Neuf Des Coeurs 6-1 (9-6) Held up well off the pace towards rear, headway towards inside and switched right inside final 3f, soon chasing leaders, not clear run on rails and switched left approaching final furlong, stayed on into 3rd final 100 yards, 3rd of 10, 1 1/2l behind Our Kylie (9-7) at Musselburgh 1m 4f hcp (6) gf in Jul.
