Verdict
Bernard Llewellyn sets a poser here by saddling recent course winners Form And Beauty and LIGHTENING FIRE. Both are partnered by their winning jockeys but the former has been hit hardest by the handicapper and there must also be a doubt that blinkers will work as well a second time so preference is for Isobell Tompsett's mount, who should handle the drop in distance. Marker Rasen winner Won More Night has something to prove now after running poorly at Lingfield on Monday, but Spinning Waters turn of foot could be an asset in this small field. Modest maiden Jessica, however, will probably need the run.
