Race preview
A chance is taken on LIGHTENING COMPANY, who has been dropped 1lb in the ratings after running into a modest third in a handicap at Doncaster last time. He can make his presence felt. Ben Haslam's charge was slowly away on that occasion and he is likely to be seen in a better light should he get off on terms. First Impression rates as the biggest danger to the selection following his second over the extended 1m2f at Chester, while Theoryofeverything also commands respect.
