7/4
First past the post but subsequently demoted on debut and he didn't look entirely straightforward again when second at Wetherby next time. Out of his depth both starts since but in calmer waters now and must enter calculations. Gelded since last seen.

Twice-raced maiden. Left debut effort well behind when fifth of 13 in maiden (33/1) at Yarmouth (6f, good) 23 days ago. Claims if building on that.

Forecasts

Shayekh (7/4), Empire Of Light (5/2), Insignia (13/2), Leaves Of Grass (9/1), Ruling Sovereign (11/1), Bated Breeze (11/1), Sonmarg (14/1), Townsend Manor (22/1), Red Chatan (22/1), Phineas Finn (100/1), Head's Gone Pal (200/1)

Verdict

EMPIRE OF LIGHT showed a good attitude when opening his account at Newmarket last month and likely has more to give yet. He can score again. Shayekh and Townsend Manor rate the principal dangers.
