Verdict

LIGHT N STRIKE didn't offer much in 3 starts for this yard in the autumn but this is his time of year and was a good winner of this race 12 months ago off the same mark. Western General is next best ahead of Etalon and Centara, who both like to lead.

  1. LIGHT N STRIKE (IRE)
  2. WESTERN GENERAL (IRE)
  3. ETALON (IRE)
