Verdict

SPORTING LIGHT isn't fully exposed and can maintain his unbeaten record on the all-weather. Fanjove looks sure to go close stepping back up to 7f, with Popty Ping another likely player returning to the scene of her 2 previous victories.

1	Made it 2-2 on the all-weather when successful in this grade over C&D on return. The placed horses have franked that form subsequently, and he may well follow up off just a 2 lb higher mark. 1st Pick 1 Sporting Light (Ire) Jockey: Oisin James Orr Trainer: Richard & Peter Fahey J: Oisin James Orr T: Richard & Peter Fahey	99	-	-	-	20%	4/1

6	In fine form last year and having been gelded over the winter, ran well behind a less-exposed trio on reappearance here (6f). Makes plenty of appeal stepping back up to the trip of his 2 previous wins. 2nd Pick 6 Fanjove (Ire) Jockey: Robert Havlin Trainer: Ed Dunlop J: Robert Havlin T: Ed Dunlop	100	-	-	-	17%	5/1

8	Beat a next-time-out winner when notching a second C&D victory in March. Not disgraced when fourth behind less-exposed rivals at Doncaster last time and should be firmly in the mix returning to the all-weather. 3rd Pick 8 Popty Ping Jockey: Mark Winn Trainer: David O'meara J: Mark Winn T: David O'meara	99	-	-	-	13%	7/1
