    Verdict

    Be Easy’s first run at Haydock was not without promise and she makes more appeal than Thirsk third Margaret Dumont but LIGHTNESS can make it fourth-time lucky. The Queen’s filly is almost certain to appreciate this step up in distance after narrow defeats at Kempton and Beverley. Haida Gwaii will need to improve on her all-weather form to figure.
