Verdict

It is hard to oppose the claims of RIVEN LIGHT, thriving since turned to the Flat by Willie Mullins. He has plenty scope for more in this sphere and beat some of these with a degree of ease last time out. He's arguably unlucky not to be coming here on a four-timer but for some poor luck at Galway and should mount another bold bid. Zawraq merits a check in the market, though his lack of a run might cost him and he has clearly had his share of setbacks. Canary Row is in great heart at the moment and should give another solid account while Bengala and Savannah Storm are potential improvers.
