4/1

Relatively cheap purchase (for her pedigree) but looked to have plenty of talent when quickening clear to make a winning start at Taunton 11 months ago. Obvious claims under penalty if tuned up.

Light N Strike²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: Jamie Snowden

3/1

Leading Light gelding. Dam, bumper winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Ross River. Showed plenty when second of 10 in bumper at Newton Abbot 3 weeks ago and sets the standard.

14/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 8 in bumper at Fontwell (17.7f, good to firm, 125/1) 28 days ago. Bit more needed in all probability.

Famoso (8/11), Light N Strike (3/1), Flying Sara (4/1), The Bomber Liston (5/1), Rideau Canal (8/1), Honorary Colonel (10/1), Floy Joy (12/1), Sheila's Spirit (14/1), My Drogo (14/1), Mozzaro (20/1), Entre Deux (25/1), Neo (33/1)

LIGHT N STRIKE offered up plenty in what looked an above-average bumper at Newton Abbot 3 weeks ago, showing good pace to come from behind in a slowly-run race, and can put his experience to good use up against some likely newcomers, notably Famoso, who's out of a half-sister to Hurricane Fly, and The Bomber Liston from the Nicky Henderson yard.
