Jonathan Portman’s Wondrous Light has been in good form so far this season, winning two of her three starts, and she scored comfortably over course and distance when last seen. A 7lb rise makes life harder but she’s one to keep on sider until her limitations are exposed.

Wondrous Light should go well despite the rise in class, but the unexposed RETURN TO UNIT is worth another chance in blinkers.

6/1 Triple Double A,
On The River,
13/2 Miletus,
