Light The City turns out quickly after last week's emphatic victory over hurdles at Newcastle. The good ground was the reason for the improved form so he wouldn't want any more rain for his debut over fences. CROSS TO BOSTON was only beaten half-a-length by Mighty Cliche over 2m here last month, form that could prove good enough for this. Amethyst Rose completed a double when scoring here on Boxing Day, where Forestside was struggling when unseating his rider, but a fall on her next start at Kelso appears to have affected her confidence. Highlander Ted, a maiden over hurdles, makes his chasing debut from a very lowly mark.
