Race preview
LIGHTENING COMPANY won a competitive contest at Redcar in April and he is only 4lb higher in the ratings today, despite running well in both subsequent starts. The four-year-old steps down in grade today and is arguably the one to beat. Piecederesistance hit the crossbar over C&D a month ago and a reproduction of that level of form today would give him a big chance. Others to note are Highwaygrey and Strawman.
