Safe to say this is not a vintage Grade Two contest but MAGIC OF LIGHT appeals plenty based on her very comfortable Newbury chase win latest which was Jessica Harrington's only runner on these shores this season. Back over hurdles a similar effort here would give her exceptional claims so she gets the vote. If You Say Run is certainly very talented but not the easiest of rides so all will depend on how Harry Cobden is able to deliver her challenge. Culture De Sivola is closely matched with the latter and this highly progressive mare also should go well.
