Trigger The Light doesn't stand much racing and may prefer a longer trip nowadays but showed he retains plenty of ability when scoring over 3m5f here on his reappearance. Tafika will have needed his comeback run but SATOU was having only his fifth start in this country when beating Appleaday by a short-head at Sandown and is open to further improvement. He should confirm that form with the disappointing Babysitter. Inga Bird won over fences at the first time of asking at Huntingdon, though is taking on better opposition here, while the unexposed Thats Ben may be a few pounds too high in the weights.
