Lightning Spree and Lara Carbonara are closely matched on recent running on soft ground here when filling the places. Know Your Name remains 10lb higher than when scoring at Wolverhampton in November and Push Me slips further down the weights in a bid to end a long losing run. Jacbequick saves his best for Beverley and was runner-up at that track last time and Tanawar looks high enough in the weights. NORMANDY KNIGHT won twice last year and has a recent run under his belt. Richard Fahey’s charge may be the answer to this and gets the vote.
