Verdict

SHADOW OF LIGHT had subsequent Sirenia winner Symbol of Strength a place behind him in the Gimcrack and is taken to confirm his narrow superiority over Adrian Keatley's charge. Andesite was over 5 lengths behind that pair in the Gimcrack but that was his first run since a debut success in May and it would be no surprise to see Karl Burke's charge get a lot closer to them this time. Easy debut Pontefract scorer Powerful Glory is another fascinating contender.
