The one with the most obvious potential is Irish-raider MEDIA NARANJA, who delivered a fluent round of jumping when opening her account from the front at Limerick. This is tougher but her opening mark looks fair and she may well be equal to the task. The Nicky Henderson-trained duo Arclight and Under Control rate the main dangers, with the former feared most, for all that she is the apparent second-string judged on jockey bookings. Komedy Kicks and Obsessedwithyou are live each-way candidates.
