Forecasts

Seemorelights (16/5), Clan Legend (7/2), Ascot De Bruyere (9/2), Informateur (6/1), Fortified Bay (7/1), Pougne Bobbi (7/1), Demi Sang (15/2), Last Goodbye (10/1)

Verdict

SEEMORELIGHTS showed up well for a long way when eventually third of 4 to a couple of talented rivals at Ayr last time, so there's every chance a mark of 125 underestimates him. He's preferred to the bang-in-form Clan Legend, while last-time-out C&D winner Ascot de Bruyere also makes obvious appeal.
