Warrior Of Light ran well on his reappearance behind Razor Wind at Doncaster. Goodwood Mirage didn't show much back on the Flat at Pontefract, however, while Mutatis Mutandis only beat one home at Goodwood, though that was a Listed race. Captain Morley won at Wolverhampton in January and wouldn't be without a chance but we'll take a chance on the fitness of PILGRIMS REST (NAP). He came to hand early last year with seconds at Chester and York and is only a pound higher on his seasonal reappearance.
