Verdict

Echo Of Lightning has been in very good form this summer and won easily here last month. He's changed stables but is only 3lb higher with his young rider able to claim 7lb. Irish raider Pushaq has won twice at Wolverhampton, though never on Turf ,but ELECTION DAY was in excellent form at this time last season and looked to be coming back to his best on ground faster than he would have liked at Beverley. He gets the vote but Trinity Star would have a chance from his very lowly mark if the ground dries out, though he's 2lb out of the handicap. Lamloom has been a beaten favourite in his four starts since comfortably landing a maiden at Ayr but shouldn't be written off in a very tight handicap.
