Trainer Justin Landy has made a good start to his Rules career and his JAXLIGHT, a winner at Southwell last month is taken to register her third Rules victory by taking the concluding lady riders handicap hurdle. The selection can see off Percy Prosecco who has been in good form on the Flat this year while maiden Superefficient who hails from a top stable can take third.
