Verdict
Black Lightning, successful at Market Rasen in June, is a past winner here. Doyen Queen reappears on a decent mark but NASHVILLE NIPPER is making his handicap debut in a modest heat and is preferred to Gaot, who has been off the track for more than a year, and the hat-trick seeking No Worries, who had little to beat on Jersey last month.
