STRIKE A LIGHT came here in May and landed a poor handicap on ground with some give. Two runs on quicker going yielded nothing but a return to softer conditions last week saw her gain an emphatic victory for which a 6lb penalty should be easily overcome. Sbraase has only won on Polytrack but has been running reasonably on fast going and though Pretty Bubbles was tailed off here last week she had won a Newbury handicap in good style in May and would be a threat in that kind of form. Ted's Brother is only 2lb higher than his victory at Nottingham last month so should be respected if in the same mood.
