Verdict
Lygeton Lad is in the form of his life at present, but he will need to be, to defy this mark. He did well to finish as close as he did last time, for his jockey had to contend with a slipping saddle. Course and distance winner Beckon, is only 3lb higher than his last winning mark and is sure to be a danger, but Stitch In Time may need this after a break.
