AT FIRST LIGHT (NAP) appeared to have plenty left in the locker when winning a conditionals' race by four lengths at Wincanton nine days ago. She can race off the same mark here and, with Nico de Boinville keeping the partnership intact, is difficult to oppose. Spin Cast has only found one too good in his last two starts and maybe Alan Jones will be the trainer who finally gets a win out of the seven-year-old. Winning chaser No No Cardinal hasn't even been placed in nine starts over hurdles while Nellie The Elegant was getting no closer when last seen but fellow four-year-old Maid Of Tuscany could make the frame.
