Verdict

Trip The Light isn't very big and may be found wanting under his welter burden while Lost Glory returns from a lengthy absence. Halucha may also need this but the once-useful Smokey Oakey, who is jointly owned by Dame Judi Dench, has been busy on the all-weather this spring and On The Right Path followed up his win in a Market Rasen seller with victory in better company at Uttoxeter, though seems to need soft ground to show his best. PADDY THE HARE, second at Southwell on his reappearance, should strip fitter here and gets a tentative vote under promising conditional Chris Ward though Nicks Power, who won over 2m here last month, and the maiden Royal Riviera can't be ignored.
