A chance is taken on the fitness of the well bred LIGHT LAUGHTER here. Dermot Weld's charge showed plenty of potential last summer but has obviously been held up since. Harmonyofthestars ran promisingly here on debut and should feature with the benefit of that experience under his belt. Cagey is very much a dark horse and showed enough ability on debut to merit respect.
