A winner without a penalty having landed a conditionals' race under today's rider at Towcester last week, VISIBLE LIGHT (NAP) has obvious claims. He's still prone to the odd mistake but that didn't stop him recording a cosy win and Stuart Edmunds' charge is preferred to Diego Suarez. The latter was narrowly beaten at Catterick last month and is upped 5lb while Running Wolf won at the same track in December but has disappointed since. Riddlestown scored over track and trip at the end of last year while Midnight Gem drops in class and Cahill has more scope than most.
