      Verdict

      Lightening Dance won a lower grade contest at Salisbury last month and has been raised 5lb. He’s better off at the weights with DOUBLE REFLECTION for an earlier defeat at Leicester but has nearly five lengths to make up with the latter and Karl Burke’s filly has gone close in both subsequent starts. Why We Dream won a novices race at Carlisle in July and and has yet to race over this far while it’s been over a year since Fanfair landed a double and she still looks high enough in the weights.
