Echo Of Lightning went up 6lb for his course and distance victory over today's rival Shamaheart and hasn't been able to cope. The runner-up has also failed to fire subsequently and though Cliff has gone close on several occasions he is still a maiden and has been beaten off this mark. Mariners Moon scored here in May of last year but not since and finished last on his latest start at Carlisle but the front-running Sugar Town, who has been running well, will make a bold bid to lead all the way. OPT OUT is just 1lb higher than when scoring at Musselburgh last month and has continued to perform with credit including on that track last time where he finished strongly. He looks the one to be on in a tight handicap.
