Verdict
Travail D'orfevre is penalised for November’s debut victory at Ayr and CLEAR WHITE LIGHT can take advantage. The latter finished a promising fourth in an all-weather bumper here last month when ahead of Okavango Delta and may prove the one to side with. Twoshotsoftequila also showed ability on the all-weather track here on her debut while both Undecided and Petite Rhapsody ran well for a long way over track and trip on their respective debuts. Donna's Double and Right Said Ted are newcomers to note.
