Verdict
Ben Haslam has his string in decent order at present so LIGHTENING COMPANY makes a fair amount of appeal in spite of a disappointing run at Hexham. Magic Mike began his winning streak off a mark of just 78 and he’s been well placed to get to the point of attempting a hat-trick bid from just a 6lb higher mark. Pot Of Paint was a maiden on the Flat though had placed in middle distance contest in that sphere. Beautiful Surprise was not disgraced on her most recent start at Worcester and is of interest at the bottom of the handicap. What Will Be finished second in a seller over course and distance to a rival that was greatly favoured at the weights.
