SEEMORELIGHTS showed up well for a long way when eventually third of 4 to a couple of talented rivals at Ayr last time, so there's every chance a mark of 125 underestimates him. He's preferred to the bang-in-form Clan Legend, while last-time-out C&D winner Ascot de Bruyere also makes obvious appeal.
