CLEAR WHITE LIGHT shaped well in attempting to peg back a couple of more prominently-ridden rivals at Carlisle 10 days ago and, although his rider is unable to claim here, he's still not yet fully exposed and remains one to be interested in. Progressive chaser Ladronne ran respectably returned to hurdling at Wetherby last time and needs considering off 3 lb lower, with handicap-debutant Howlingmadmurdock completing the shortlist, for all less testing ground is an unknown.
