Going: Soft
Surface: T
Three-time flat winner LIGHTENING COMPANY (1) returned from a short break opening his hurdling account with a game performance over course and distance following a sustained duel with the runner-up. Small rise in weights does not appear insurmountable and another bold bid anticipated. IOLANI (8) gained his seventh hurdling success bouncing back to form tackling track and trip. Just missed the frame seven-days ago at Market Rasen when unable to see out the longer journey. Rates a player dropping back down in journey. Both SHANTOU LUCKY (3) and HEART ABOVE (9) look vulnerable for win purposes and can battle it out for minor honours.
