Verdict
KITTY’S LIGHT beat Blue N Yellow at Southwell on his chasing debut and ran well again when second in a higher grade chase at Sedgefield recently. Another bold bid is expected off his current mark but Blue N Yellow disappointed at Newton Abbot subsequently. Rosserk Abbey posted a better effort at Fontwell last time and can figure while North Star Oscar has his first start over fences and second outing after wind surgery and is preferred to Eclair Des Sablons.
