LIGHT LILY has won both starts here since fitted with a tongue-tie. She shrugged off a 6lb penalty to score easily over track and trip last week and a further 4lb rise may not be enough to prevent the hat-trick. Rulers Kingdom missed out on a treble when only fourth at Chelmsford and Broken Rifle steps up in trip after failing to figure over 6f here. The less-exposed pair River Song and Mystic River could go well if taking to the surface and are both preferred to Red Jasper.
