      Verdict

      All of these step up in trip with LIGHTNING LEO preferred. The latter has been persevered with in Listed company since making a winning debut and can defy a penalty back at this level with cheekpieces applied. The Hun looks a threat having finished second at Ripon on his introduction while Curran is a likely improver and the newcomer Tryfan is a brother to a winner over 1m4f.
