Having progressed with each of his first 3 starts, INTO THE LIGHT had excuses at Royal Ascot last time so he remains capable of better with his yard going well. He gets the vote ahead of Astracornus, who remains capable of better as he goes up in trip, with Pierian also one to note as she makes her handicap debut.

About The Selections
Dave Nevison
Astracornus This represents a step up in grade, but he has plenty going for him as his form has been working out well, and Saffie Osborne is a positive jockey booking.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: A strongly contested lead could count against Silver State, who is expected to try and race close up: There is a chance of a pace burnout early, and Astracornus is one who may benefit from being produced later.
Individual Price Hint: Waterford Castle traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 5 starts.
